Carvajal to leave Real Madrid at end of season

SPORTS 18.05.2026

Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal will leave the club at the end of the season, Los Blancos said Monday.

Text size:

The Spain international, who has played 450 times for Madrid, has won 27 trophies including six Champions Leagues and four La Liga titles.

"Real Madrid wishes to express its gratitude and affection to one of the greatest legends of our club and world football," said the Spanish giants in a statement.

Carvajal, 34, came through Real Madrid's La Fabrica youth academy and after signing for Bayer Leverkusen in 2012, Los Blancos bought him back the following summer.

"Carvajal is a legend and a symbol of Real Madrid and its academy," said Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

The defender was hoping to play for Spain at the World Cup this summer but has struggled with various injuries through a disappointing campaign and will not be called up by coach Luis de la Fuente according to Spanish media.

Carvajal will play his last match for the club at the Santiago Bernabeu this weekend against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, at the end of a second straight season without a major trophy for Madrid.
