Real Madrid are prepared to respect captain Dani Carvajal’s decision as he moves ever closer to leaving in the summer, according to MARCA.
The long-serving right-back is expected to leave the club at the end of the season, once his contract expires, bringing an end to more than a decade at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Carvajal is reportedly keen to continue his career in Qatar, with Al Gharafa emerging as a possible destination, as he seeks a new challenge in the latter stages of his career.
Real Madrid are reportedly willing to approve the transfer, appreciating his long-term service to the club and not placing any obstacles in his future choice.
His departure would create a void on the right side of defence, with Trent Alexander-Arnold currently the natural option in the squad, although his injury concerns remain.
It is believed that Carvajal has a strong bond with former teammate Joselu, who currently plays in Qatar, and this relationship has been cited as a factor that could influence his decision.
The veteran defender has been a key figure at Real Madrid for more than a decade, winning numerous domestic and international trophies during his career at the club.
