Dani Carvajal is scheduled to be absent from Real Madrid for the next month, and the results of that month might have a significant impact on the future of two particular players.
In the match against Granada that took place on Saturday, the experienced defender was substituted off at halftime, and Lucas Vazquez took over. It is quite probable that Carlo Ancelotti would choose him as one of the two choices available to him in order to compensate for the absence of the 31-year-old player for the next matches against Real Betis and Villarreal.
The other player is the captain, Nacho Fernandez, who has been mostly serving as a rotation option in the center defense position. Although Dani Carvajal has a history of injuries, it is probable that this will also be the case throughout the next season. As a result of their pursuit of Alphonso Davies and either Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe, it is quite possible that there will be very little money left over once the summer transfer window closes. This is despite the fact that it has been stated in the past that they may try to recruit a young player for the position during the summer of 2019.
The growth of star right-back Jesus Fortea, who is just 16 years old and has high ambitions of making it to the first squad, is also taking place in the background. Additionally, Real Madrid is a long-term favorite to get Reece James, and Chelsea is sure to demand a significant transfer price as well.
Nevertheless, according to Relevo, only one of Vazquez and Nacho will be able to make it to the next season. Both are out of contract and getting on in years (32 and 34), and while Los Blancos believe that both of them are fully capable of filling the right-back position, they believe that they only need one of them for the next season to cover Carvajal. Ancelotti has plenty of choices in central defense to choose from.
Due to the fact that Real Madrid only offers one-year contracts to veterans who are over the age of 30, neither player would have their position guaranteed for the remaining years. Despite the fact that he is two years younger than Real Madrid, Vazquez offers Real Madrid a greater offensive threat and the ability to go to the by-line, which is more valuable for Real Madrid in eighty percent of these games. Despite this, Nacho is the captain of the club and also plays an important role in the locker room. It is more probable that the coaching staff will have faith in Nacho if the match in question is as important as the one in which Carvajal is not there.
