Dani Carvajal is a 34-year-old full-back at Real Madrid, rated 17.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.49 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carvajal.

On the season, Carvajal graded 16 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 2.49 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 34 Carvajal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.5/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
