Carvajal has been an important part of Real Madrid's success over the past decade, playing in 427 matches across all competitions. However, he has missed a significant number of games this season due to an injury.

Real Madrid is planning to strengthen their defense this summer, as many of their current players are aging and prone to injuries. With Alexander-Arnold expected to join the team on a free transfer, Carvajal's time with the team may be limited.

In a recent interview, Carvajal reflected on his career and said, "It's been a long journey. My sports career is already nearing the end. I hope not, but I have to be realistic."
