Dani Carvajal
34-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
No longer everyday starter
Carvajal has started in seven of his 12 appearances this season while recording one clean sheet and no goal contributions.
ANALYSIS
Carvajal has seen a drop in time this campaign following his long absence last season due to a torn ACL, with the defender in more of a rotational role now. He has struggled with injuries once again this season and has missed decent time, although he has gone unused quite a bit as well. However, the main reasoning for his loss in time is likely due to the addition of Trent Alexander-Arnold this offseason, going with the more technical and younger option in the defense. It then appears Carvajal's days of running the right flank regularly may be over, likely to be used less and less as time moves on.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Keen on MLS move
Carvajal is keen on completing a move to MLS once his Real Madrid contract expires, according to MARCA.
ANALYSIS
Carvajal has said MLS is "one of the candidates" for a destination when he leaves the club. The 33-year-old veteran is under contract until the summer of 2026, but it wouldn't be shocking if he chooses to leave the club next summer since he's likely to operate as the backup of Trent Alexander-Arnold following the latter's move to Los Merengues from Liverpool.
