Dani Carvajal has emerged as a target for several Premier League clubs after intermediaries offered the veteran Spanish right-back to Liverpool and Manchester City, while also making contact with Fulham to explore a potential move.
The 34-year-old has been available as a free agent since ending his long tenure with Real Madrid last summer. Sources confirm that Carvajal remains intent on continuing his playing career and is currently evaluating offers and interest from Spain, Major League Soccer, the Saudi Pro League, and other European clubs.
According to an exclusive report by TEAMtalk, neither Liverpool nor Manchester City has made a final decision regarding the signing, and there are currently no advanced negotiations or formal commitments from any party.
Signing Carvajal presents an opportunity to add immense high-level experience without paying a transfer fee. However, both Liverpool and Manchester City are proceeding cautiously, considering the player’s age, recent knee injury history, and the necessity of accepting a rotation-heavy squad role.
Meanwhile, a potential move to Fulham would appear somewhat surprising despite the presence of his former manager Álvaro Arbeloa. Arbeloa himself did not afford Carvajal a regular starting spot at Real Madrid; following his injury recovery in early 2026, Carvajal logged just 27 minutes out of a possible 900 before spending the majority of his remaining matches as a substitute.
The Spanish fullback began his journey inside Real Madrid’s youth academy in 2002 before moving to Bayer Leverkusen in 2012. The Spanish giants activated his buy-back clause after a single season in Germany, instantly granting him a starting spot in the first team.
Carvajal concluded his career at Real Madrid following 13 seasons and 451 official appearances, scoring 14 goals. He served as a fundamental pillar of the golden generation that dominated European football over the past decade.
The former Real Madrid captain leaves behind an extraordinary trophy cabinet featuring 27 titles, including 6 UEFA Champions League trophies, 4 La Liga titles, and 2 Copas del Rey, alongside international glory with Spain at UEFA Euro 2024 and the 2023 UEFA Nations League.
