Dani Carvajal is a 34-year-old full-back at Real Madrid, rated 21.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 379th of 389 in the La Liga.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Carvajal.
Judged on this season alone, Carvajal graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga, on 4 clean sheets and 2.49 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 24). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 64th of 65 of the 65 full-backs in the La Liga. At 34 Carvajal is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Carvajal missed 12 games through injury (knee, calf, toe) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
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.
With a Rating of 21.1, Carvajal carries the 64th-highest potential of the full-backs in the La Liga of 65. 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).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~39), then tapers with age. At 34, Carvajal sits on 11.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Carvajal's projected Rating — 21.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
