Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal Set to Leave Despite Injury Report
Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal's exit from the club is expected to go ahead despite a recent injury report.
Real Madrid find themselves in a situation where they are looking to move on several players this summer, and Carvajal is one of them.
The problem is considered minor, and it will not affect Real Madrid's plans to sell or loan the academy graduate before the transfer window closes.
Injury news sets the cat among the pigeons at Real Madrid. The club confirmed that Carvajal has suffered an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right leg.
While the club did not confirm how long he would be out for, it is expected to be a matter of weeks rather than days. Despite this, it seems the club are not considering the injury serious enough to threaten their transfer plans this summer.
Asencio returned for pre-season hoping to convince Jose Mourinho that he deserved a place in the team, but he is not considered part of the coach's plans for the coming campaign. Los Merengues have already strengthened the defence and remain interested in making further changes.
A loan could offer Carvajal regular football while preserving Real Madrid's control, although a permanent sale would provide more immediate financial value. Real Madrid cannot allow the situation to drift, and it's likely that Carvajal will be on his way out soon.
Real Madrid have already strengthened their defence this summer, and they remain interested in making further changes. A number of talented youngsters seem set to make way this summer in search of new opportunities.
Gonzalo Garcia has already secured a move that would see him join Premier League club Fulham, and Carvajal could be next in line. Ultimately, it all depends on Carvajal's recovery from injury, and this could be a transfer that happens closer to the end of the window, as Carvajal nears full recovery.
The transfer window is set to close in a few weeks, and Real Madrid will be eager to finalize their plans for the coming season. With Carvajal's injury not expected to affect their plans, it's likely that we will see him leave the club soon.
