It’s the class of Europe’s reigning champions. Real Madrid has shown “legendary honor” by re-signing Dani Carvajal, 32, who was on the verge of being out for the season.
“We have agreed to extend the contract of Dani Carvajal as planned,” Real Madrid announced on its website on June 6 (KST). With this agreement, he will remain at the club until June 30, 2026,” the club announced on its website.
“Carvajal joined Real Madrid in 2002, when he was just 10 years old, and has played in all parts of the youth system, from the U-12 team to Castilla. He has been a member of the first team since 2013 and has worn our shirt for 12 seasons, becoming a legend of Real Madrid and world football,” the organization said in its biography.
It also mentioned his illustrious championship record. “Carvajal played 427 games for Real Madrid and won 26 trophies in his career. Six UEFA Champions League (UCL), six Club World Cups, six La Liga, six Copa del Rey, and six Spanish Super Cups. He is one of only five players to win the UCL six times. Carvajal was also voted Best Player of the Final last June.”
Finally, Real Madrid added:
“Carvajal is a legend in the Spanish national team. He has been captain 50 times, won one Euro and one Nations League title, among others.” 카지노사이트 ”Real Madrid expresses its support and affection for him and wishes him a speedy recovery. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to enjoying his football on the pitch.”
The re-signing is significant for Real Madrid because Carvajal was expected to be out for the season. He suffered a serious injury in the ninth round of the 2024-2025 La Liga season against Villarreal on June 6, just before the end of the match.
Carvajal’s legs became entangled in a scramble for the ball in stoppage time and he suffered a massive impact on his knee. He complained of pain and had to leave the field on a stretcher. Carvajal reportedly screamed loudly and even broke down in tears at the time of the injury.
As feared, Carvajal’s injury was a season-ending one: he tore not only the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee, but also the lateral collateral ligament and the patellar tendon. He is expected to be out for at least six months and possibly as long as a year.
Carvajal announced on social media,
“A serious ACL injury has been confirmed and I will have surgery and be off the field for months. I have already started my recovery and am looking forward to coming back like a beast. Thank you so much to everyone who sent me messages of support. I feel your love,” he said.
Nevertheless, Real Madrid willingly gave Carvajal a boost by extending his contract. It’s a fitting tribute to a legend who has been a part of numerous titles over the past 12 years, including three consecutive UCL titles.
“I can only thank the club and president Florentino Perez for this honor,” said Carvajal, who will continue his association with Real Madrid. “On a day like today, we announce our accompaniment until 2026, telling the world what the best club in the world is in every sense of the word and how the success we share fills us with happiness. In difficult times, the true soul is revealed. Thank you Real Madrid,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are looking for Carvajal’s replacement. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), who has been on their radar for some time, is once again being considered. In addition, left-backs Jorel Hato and Castelo Lukeva and top Brazilian prospect Vitor Reis are also reportedly on Real Madrid’s radar.
