Real Madrid Extends Carvajal's Contract Amid Injury

Real Madrid has extended Dani Carvajal's contract until 2026 following his severe knee injury sustained during a match against Villarreal. The 32-year-old right-back ruptured multiple ligaments and tendons, necessitating surgery and an expected recovery period of around eight months. Carvajal, who joined Real Madrid as a youth in 2002, has been a key player for the team, winning numerous titles including six Champions League trophies. The contract extension signifies the club's strong support for Carvajal during his recovery, ensuring his financial stability while sidelined. Carvajal expressed gratitude towards the club and its president, Florentino Pérez, for their continued trust and support. This renewal also quashes rumors of Real Madrid pursuing Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold as a potential replacement.
