Real Madrid confirm one-year contract extension for Dani Carvajal in wake of ACL injury | OneFootball

UPDATE: 14:25

Real Madrid have been left devastated by the news that Dani Carvajal will be out for the remainder of the season, after it was confirmed that he suffered a serious knee injury in Saturday’s victory over Villarreal. However, they have since moved quickly to tie him down to a contract extension.

Carvajal’s previous deal was set to expire at the end of the season. However, Real Madrid have wanted to renew Carvajal for some time, but as a show of affection, the process was sped up. On Sunday, just a few hours after the club confirmed that the veteran right-back would be out for the remainder of the season with an ACL injury, they have now announced that he has signed on until 2026.

Carvajal has been a phenomenal servant for Real Madrid, and it is only fair that this time at the club does not end prematurely. However, it is also clear that a successor needs to be signed, and one could arrive as early as January.
