Real Madrid veteran set to leave the club at the end of the season – report
It has been far from an exciting campaign for Dani Carvajal, who has struggled with injuries and fitness this season.
The Spaniard, in fact, has been ruled out for two more weeks with a fresh hamstring problem that could see him miss Real Madrid’s last few matches in the league this season.
Amid mounting fitness concerns, his future at the club has been a subject of hot debate, with many expecting him to leave at the end of the season.
Carvajal to leave the club
A recent report from MARCA now confirms that Carvajal will indeed leave Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season.
This would mark the end of a 13-year spell at the Bernabeu that saw him feature in 300 La Liga matches and almost 450 competitive matches for Los Blancos.
As per the report, Real Madrid have already decided not to offer him a contract renewal, a decision linked to his limited playing time in the final stretch of the season and his inability to return to his previous level following a string of injuries.
Since making his comeback from the serious knee injury sustained in October 2024, Carvajal has made just four starts, gone 14 matches without playing a single minute, and accumulated only 442 minutes on the pitch across 26 call-ups.
Clashes with coach Alvaro Arbeloa further complicated his final months at the club.
His latest injury has also all but ended his hopes of making Spain’s World Cup squad, another major blow for a player who had that tournament as one of his primary targets at the start of the season.
The expectation at Valdebebas is that Carvajal will be fit in time for the final league match against Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu, thus marking a fitting farewell at the stadium he has called home for so long.

Representative of Real Madrid star speaks out on player’s future amid exit links – “He needs to play”
After the worst possible start to the season, in which he struggled to get enough game-time under Jose Mourinho, Endrick is having a resurgence of sorts after the international break.
The Brazilian played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s comeback win over AS Roma in the Champions League and played 70 minutes in the 4-1 win over Sevilla.
Despite that, Endrick’s future at Real Madrid remains uncertain, as there is no guarantee he will become a first-team regular anytime soon.
Endrick’s representative on his future
Michael Yormark, president of Roc Nation – the agency which represents Endrick, has opened up on the striker’s situation, admitting that a January move cannot be ruled out if the minutes do not increase.
“His first option is to stay at Real Madrid, but he needs to play and we’ll see how everything develops until the next transfer window in January,” Yormark said (h/t Defensa Central).
He went on to explain that conversations are ongoing, with Endrick keen to make the most of a career he knows is finite.
“The future of Endrick? It’s a constantly evolving process, and we need to see how things develop between now and the end of 2026, before the winter transfer window opens. We recently met with Endrick in Madrid and had a great conversation.
“He’s a very talented guy and eager to play, so we’ll see what happens. He loves Madrid, the team he’s on, and his teammates, but when you think about the length of his career… you realize it’s short, and you want to make the most of it,” he added.
Multiple clubs on the prowl
The uncertainty surrounding his game time has inevitably alerted suitors, with Endrick’s profile making him a hugely attractive proposition.
The Brazilian international has already been linked with a move for Italian giants AS Roma and AC Milan and it won’t be surprising to see more clubs lining up for him as we move closer towards the January transfer window.
It is clear that Endrick needs regular elite-level football to continue his development, something he is unlikely to find at Real Madrid in the immediate future.
That reality is said to be making him seriously consider his options. The situation is nothing new, either, with Madrid having loaned him to Olympique Lyonnais in the second half of last season.
He stayed put in the summer at Mourinho’s request, but the Portuguese has since struggled to carve out a role for him, even after his return from an early-season injury.
For now, the hope within his camp is that his recent contributions earn him greater involvement. Should that fail to materialise, though, a mid-season switch to a club offering guaranteed minutes may prove increasingly difficult to resist.
