Real Madrid legend expecting to leave the club at the end of the season

A long-time member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid sees his future as increasingly likely to be away from Spain’s capital beyond the coming summer.

This comes amid confirmation that Dani Carvajal is inching towards becoming a free agent.

Defender Carvajal is for his part fresh off another difficult outing this past weekend.

En route to Real Madrid putting Valencia to the sword, the veteran right-back was left on the bench for the entirety of the 90 minutes, as both David Jiménez and Trent Alexander-Arnold were favoured by Álvaro Arbeloa.

As much means that, since returning from injury back in early January, the 34-year-old has seen less than half an hour of official playing time.

Carvajal could not help but allow his frustration with this situation to show on the back of the full-time whistle at Mestalla, looking angered as he was put through his paces in a warm down session.

And if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then this could well be the beginning of the end when it comes to the Spaniard’s legendary Blancos stint.

As per a report from Radio MARCA:

‘Carvajal suspects there won’t be a contract renewal offer (for next season). He knows the club, he knows the timeline, and he’s seen this process repeated with illustrious names. Letting time pass, little communication, and, in the end, a silent surrender.’
