Dani Carvajal has clarified that his recommendation for the future of the Real Madrid right-back doesn't include two names that have been strongly mentioned. Neither Trent Alexander-Arnold nor Jeremie Frimpong. Instead of those two, Carvajal has pointed to a player who, according to him, has the perfect profile to reinforce Madrid's defense. This full-back could be the surprise for the club to take Lucas Vázquez back to the bench.
Dani Carvajal Warns Lucas Vázquez
The battle for the starting right-back spot has been one of the most intense in recent years. While Dani Carvajal has been the undisputed owner, Lucas Vázquez has tried to take the position off him. Although Vázquez has been useful, his performance has been far from matching Carvajal's, who remains the main defensive and offensive reference.
As an authoritative voice in the locker room, Carvajal knows about his level and what type of full-back should join him in the team. Despite Lucas Vázquez's efforts, Dani Carvajal himself has been blunt: "He is very good, he has the features of a great player."
Dani Carvajal Points to a More Promising full-back
Dani Carvajal has been asked about possible transfers for the right-back spot, a position that needs a generational change. Although Alexander-Arnold and Frimpong have been strongly linked, Carvajal recommended another full-back that he considers more promising: Lorenzo Aguado.
"He's very good, he has everything we need," said Carvajal, referring to the youngster from the academy. Lorenzo Aguado has already been called by Carlo Ancelotti and it's only a matter of time before he makes his debut. Dani Carvajal has already given his blessing to sign him, although that could mean the return of Lucas Vázquez to the bench.
Lorenzo Aguado: the Ideal Full-Back for Dani Carvajal
Lorenzo Aguado is a right-back who's making a name for himself at Real Madrid's La Fábrica. Although he is still young, Carvajal sees a bright future in him. Lorenzo Aguado has great defensive ability, is solid and can get into the box, an essential quality in Madrid's game plan.
Lorenzo Aguado has shown great progress in the white reserve team. Although his name is not as well-known as Alexander-Arnold's or Frimpong's, Carvajal regards him as the future. According to him, Lorenzo Aguado is the ideal transfer to ensure quality on the right flank in the coming years.
