Real Madrid star Dani Carvajal is considering a future transfer move to Major League Soccer.

The Spanish international is one of the most decorated players in European soccer with an incredible tally of four La Liga titles and six UEFA Champions League crowns.

Carvajal is a genuine fans favourite in the Spanish capital, native to the Leganes area, who emerged through the Los Blancos youth system after joining the club in 2002.

However, the 32-year-old moves into the final year of his contract this season, with no confirmation over either his plans or the club's intentions.

Carvajal was vital in Spain's Euro 2024 title win and remains crucial in Carlo Ancelotti's plans with his impressive form across the last 12 months also securing a nomination for the 2024 Ballon d'Or.

Real Madrid operate a strict policy of only offering one-year extensions to players aged over 30, as was the case with former club legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos, but Carvajal is assessing his options.

"I have until next summer on my contract. I’m not considering retirement at the moment. I talk about it with my family: I want to enjoy every game and training session. As the years go by, you realise you have to value every moment", as per an exclusive interview with The Athletic.

“The relationship I have with the club is very transparent and clear. If both parties agree to continue, I hope to stay for many years.

"Is MLS an option? It’s a possibility. When I decide not to be at Real Madrid, I’m not going to play in Europe and the alternatives are reduced

“It would be one of those three options [alongside Qatar and Saudi Arabia].”

Carvajal will captain Spain in their upcoming UEFA Nations League games in September against Serbia and Switzerland with Alvaro Morata ruled out through injury.
