According to a recent report from Defensa Central, club president Florentino Pérez is preparing for a direct face-to-face meeting with the veteran right-back to determine his future beyond this season.

With Carvajal’s contract expiring at the end of the campaign, uncertainty continues to surround his next move.
As things stand, there is no formal agreement between the player and the club, leaving the situation open at a critical time in the season.
Pérez will take this matter seriously
Rather than allowing the matter to drag out, Perez wants to address it immediately.
The planned meeting is expected to clarify Carvajal’s intentions, his physical condition and whether both parties see value in continuing the relationship for another year.
It is not a routine conversation, as it will effectively alter Real Madrid’s strategy for the right-back position heading into the summer.

The outlet mentions that Pérez has historically handled similar situations with experienced figures on the team, ensuring that decisions are made based on both performance and long-term planning.
Before reaching a final verdict, the president prefers direct dialogue, something he already did with Luka Modrić and Karim Benzema during their respective contract renewals.
In those cases, short-term extensions were offered under specific conditions, often including salary adjustments.
That same framework could now apply to Carvajal, especially considering Real Madrid’s policy of carefully managing players’ contracts in the later stages of their careers.

The upcoming debate will therefore carry multiple caveats.
If both sides find common ground, a one-year renewal could be on the table, potentially under revised financial terms.
However, if doubts persist, Real Madrid will have no choice but to actively explore the transfer market in search of a successor.
