However, in recent years, his involvement with the team has been limited due to injury and the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold last summer. Carvajal suffered a serious injury that kept him out for nine months and has made only 21 appearances in all competitions this season.

It has been clear for some time that Carvajal's future with Real Madrid is uncertain, and according to reports, he has already begun thinking about his next move.

Several clubs in Saudi Arabia have expressed interest in signing him, but the current situation in the region makes a move difficult.

Carvajal's brother-in-law, Joselu, who is also a former Real Madrid teammate, is set to leave his current club in Qatar this summer when his contract expires.

This could make a move to a top European league more likely, and perhaps a Premier League team may consider signing him on a short-term deal.
