Veteran defender unhappy under Álvaro Arbeloa, exit expected at season’s end.
Real Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal is reportedly deeply frustrated with his current situation at the club and is now set to leave at the end of the season, according to fresh reports from MARCA.
Sources close to the player reveal that Carvajal feels he is not being taken seriously by new head coach Álvaro Arbeloa, a situation that has left the experienced defender increasingly upset and impatient. Despite his reduced role, Carvajal believes he still has the quality and level required for top European football.

The Spaniard’s frustration is also tied to his 2026 World Cup ambitions. Carvajal is determined to arrive at the tournament in peak condition, playing regularly and performing at the highest level — something he feels is currently impossible due to his lack of consistent game time at the Bernabéu.
Following earlier exclusive reports highlighting his discontent, MARCA have now confirmed that Carvajal is expected to depart Real Madrid when the season ends, bringing a likely close to a long and trophy-laden spell at the club.
His potential exit would mark the end of an era, with Carvajal having been a key part of Real Madrid’s domestic and European dominance over the past decade. As things stand, attention will now turn to where the veteran full-back could continue his career as he looks to secure regular football ahead of the World Cup.
