Real Madrid will not meddle in defender’s contract decision | OneFootball

Real Madrid will soon need to address their right-back situation. Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez are both out of contract at the end of this season, and there will soon be a need for a long-term replacement or two, given that both players are now well into their thirties.

It is entirely possible that both players remain at the club until at least 2026, although there is work being done on a right-back signing for next summer – Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the names that has been mentioned.

There is no rush with the contract situations of Carvajal and Lucas. In the former’s case, Real Madrid do not intend to make their case, with the decision being entirely left up to Carvajal, as reported by Diario AS.

Carvajal has shown that he is more than capable of continuing at the top level for another few years, and Real Madrid will still see him as their starter if a big-name signings is not made in 2025. As things stand, it would be a major surprise if he were not to continue into next season at least.
