Many of Real Madrid’s stars are considered untouchable by the Italian coach due to their vast experience and consistent performance over many years.
Real Madrid will begin their European title defence when they host Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabéu tonight.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Dani Carvajal is one of coach Carlo Ancelotti’s favourite players, and has proven himself particularly well in recent seasons.
Carvajal, who is the team’s second captain, is known for his dedication to improving his fitness and adjusting his diet, which has helped reduce the number of injuries he suffers.
In a statement to Pintos from Valdebebas, Davide Ancelotti, the Italian coach’s son, said, “Carvajal is one of the players my father loves the most.” This season, the Spanish full-back continues to perform brilliantly, making him one of the best right-backs in the world today.
Real Madrid are expected to renew Carvajal’s contract until June 30, 2026, as his current deal expires next summer. The player is very happy with his team and aspires to continue making history with the club.
Despite strong offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, Carvajal would prefer to stay at Real Madrid for at least another season, believing that he still has the ability and motivation to compete for major European titles.
At the same time, Real Madrid are working to identify a potential replacement for Carvajal, to ensure competition for his position and begin the process of adapting to the team starting next season.
