Dani Carvajal, a 34-year-old right-back, remains without a team after leaving Real Madrid in the last transfer window, and CD Leganés is keeping open the possibility of incorporating him as a free agent. The summer transfer window is already closed, but his contractual situation allows him to sign for a new club outside the ordinary window.

The Madrid team has not yet entered into negotiations with Carvajal. Eduardo Cosín, president of Leganés, has confirmed on Cadena SER that they have not met with the player to formally present the project, but also has not ruled out the possibility of the situation changing.

Dani Carvajal Remains on CD Leganés' Radar

The interest has both a sporting and personal component. Carvajal was born in Leganés and has a close relationship with the city, where he has also been recognized as a favorite son. His arrival would represent another experienced move following the addition of Álvaro Morata during the summer.

Currently, CD Leganés considers the right-back position covered. That circumstance explains the absence of immediate negotiations, but Cosín has avoided definitively shutting a door that could reopen if the squad's planning changes during the season.

The club is currently competing in LaLiga Hypermotion and has undergone a significant team overhaul. According to their coach, the squad added 14 players during the last transfer window, with Morata being one of the most impactful signings.

Real Madrid Closes a 23-Season Era

Dani Carvajal became a free agent after Real Madrid decided not to extend his contract at the end of the 2025/26 season. His farewell marked the end of 23 seasons linked to the club: 10 in the youth academy and 13 in the first team.

The fullback concluded his time with Real Madrid with 450 official matches and 14 goals. Moreover, he won 27 titles, including six Champions Leagues, four LaLiga championships, two Copa del Reys, and four Spanish Super Cups.

Injuries affected his last seasons and impacted his playing continuity before the contract's end. This factor, along with his 34 years, has influenced a market where he has yet to find a definitive destination after leaving the Santiago Bernabéu.

Leganés Can Sign Him with the Market Closed

His status as a free agent changes the scenario. Carvajal does not need to wait until January to negotiate and sign with another team, provided the necessary regulatory conditions for his registration are subsequently met.

For Leganés, any potential addition will rely on a conversation that has not yet taken place. Cosín has made it clear that the club is interested in the player, but currently, they have sufficient alternatives for the right-back position.

The next move will depend on whether CD Leganés decides to turn that willingness into concrete contacts. Dani Carvajal remains available after closing his chapter at Real Madrid, and as long as he remains teamless, his hometown club will have room to consider an operation to strengthen their bid to return to LaLiga.
