The Sevilla legend remains a beloved figure among Real Madrid fans, especially in light of Carvajal’s injury and the team’s defensive struggles. As a result, many fans have taken to social media to advocate for his return.
Recently, fans suggested Sergio Ramos as an urgent solution, noting he could join as a free agent since he is currently without a team. He could potentially play as either a center back or a right back. However, according to the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, this idea appears unlikely at present. Ramos, now 38 years old and having been out of action for several months, has a high salary and may not be suited for a substitute role.
Moreover, Florentino Pérez has generally been opposed to bringing back veteran players for second stints. Although Sergio Ramos’ departure wasn’t hostile, his relationship with the president cooled significantly compared to their previous rapport.
The club is exploring other options for this season, focusing on a loan deal until the end of the year. Additionally, in 2025, they have the opportunity to sign Alexander-Arnold as a free agent, as he has expressed enthusiasm about joining Madrid. The club aims to finalize this move by January.
