Real Madrid C.F. and our captain Dani Carvajal have agreed to bring an end to a wonderful chapter as a player of our club at the conclusion of the current season.
Real Madrid wishes to express its gratitude and affection to one of the greatest legends of our club and world football.
Carvajal is one of the five players in football history to have won 6 European Cups and has been part of a team that has experienced one of the brightest periods in our history.
He joined Real Madrid in 2002 and has represented our jersey for 23 seasons: 10 in the academy and 13 in the first team, with which he has achieved 27 titles: 6 European Cups, 6 Club World Cups, 5 European Super Cups, 4 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Rey titles, and 4 Spanish Super Cups.
Individually, Carvajal was included in the FIFPro 2024 World XI, won The Best FIFA Men's World XI award in 2024, and was named the Best Player of the 2024 Champions League final, in which he scored a goal.
Carvajal has played 450 matches with our team, scoring 14 goals.
With the Spain national team, he has played 51 matches, winning the Euro 2024 and the Nations League in 2023.
For Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, “Dani Carvajal is a legend and a symbol of Real Madrid and its academy. His image alongside our beloved and remembered Alfredo Di Stéfano laying the first stone of Ciudad Real Madrid will forever remain in the hearts of all madridistas and in the history of our club. Carvajal has always exemplified the values of Real Madrid. This is and will always be his home.”
Real Madrid wishes Dani Carvajal and his family all the best in this new chapter of his life.
The Santiago Bernabéu stadium will pay tribute to him this Saturday during the final La Liga match our team will play.
