Madrid said the club and the player \u201chave agreed to bring an end to a wonderful chapter as a player of our club at the conclusion of the current season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carvajal\u2019s contract ends in June. The 34-year-old right back joined Madrid in 2002 and has played 23 seasons with the Spanish powerhouse \u2014 10 in the academy and 13 with the main squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cDani Carvajal is a legend and a symbol of Real Madrid and its academy,\u201d club president Florentino P\u00e9rez said. \u201cHis image alongside our beloved and remembered Alfredo Di St\u00e9fano laying the first stone of Ciudad Real Madrid will forever remain in the hearts of all madridistas and in the history of our club. Carvajal has always exemplified the values of Real Madrid. This is and will always be his home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carvajal played 450 matches with Madrid, the club said, scoring 14 goals and helping the club win 27 titles, including six Champions Leagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cReal Madrid wishes to express its gratitude and affection to one of the greatest legends of our club and world football,\u201d the club said. \u201cCarvajal is one of the five players in football history to have won six European Cups and has been part of a team that has experienced one of the brightest periods in our history.\u201d<\/p>

Madrid said the club will honor Carvajal during the team\u2019s final Spanish league match this weekend.<\/p>\n

Carvajal has just recently retuned from a right foot injury. He lost his fixed spot in Madrid\u2019s starting lineup after the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold this season.<\/p>\n

Once a set starter for Spain, injuries over the last two seasons have caused Carvajal to miss most national team games, with Pedro Porro and Marcos Llorente taking his spot. Carvajal is not expected to be picked by Spain coach Luis de la Fuente for the World Cup<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Spain debuts in the tournament against Cape Verde in Atlanta on June 15.<\/p>\n

With Spain, Carvajal made 51 appearances, helping it win the 2024 European Championship and the 2023 Nations League.<\/p>
