Carvajal has agreed to a contract that runs until June of next year with Getafe, who are currently positioned 11th in La Liga and are located in the southern part of Spain's capital. He has represented Spain in 51 matches, contributing to their Nations League title in 2023 and their European Championship victory in 2024.
Despite his illustrious career, Carvajal has encountered significant injury challenges in recent years, including a cruciate ligament tear in October 2024 and another serious knee injury the following year. His final season at Real Madrid saw limited playing time due to injuries and the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Getafe has expressed their appreciation for his "experience and leadership" as they welcome him to the team.
