Real Madrid negotiate David Alaba renewal after Carvajal departure

Real Madrid announced that captain Dani Carvajal will leave the club at the end of the season as his contract expires. The club said the decision will be taken next week regarding a defensive leader renewal. The renewal talks involve a player identified as David Alaba.

Carvajal, who has captained the side, will depart when his current deal runs out. His exit was confirmed earlier this week by Real Madrid. The club now faces a gap in its defensive lineup.

Real Madrid are negotiating a new contract with David Alaba, the defensive leader mentioned in the club's statement. No official confirmation of the agreement has been released. The discussions are focused on extending his stay.

The club expects to reach a decision within the next week. A prompt resolution is aimed at securing the defender before the summer transfer period. The timing aligns with the club's planning for the upcoming season.

Keeping the defensive leader is presented as essential for maintaining defensive stability. An extension would provide continuity after Carvajal's departure. The club views the defender as a cornerstone of its back line.

Should an agreement be reached, Real Madrid will head into the new campaign with a settled defense. If talks break down, the club will need to consider other options. The outcome will influence the squad's preparation for the next season.
