Manchester City Offered A Chance To Sign This Former Real Madrid Star: Should Maresca Bring Him On Board? In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey stated that Manchester City have been offered a chance to sign former Real Madrid star Dani Carvajal, who is currently a free agent. It has been mentioned that the Mancunian club have been given a chance to sign the Spanish full-back on a free transfer. Carvajal’s Important Role At Real Madrid Last Season Carvajal had a solid campaign at the Madrid club as he produced a series of impressive displays for them on the right flank. The 34-year-old secured one assist in 23 appearances for Los Blancos last season across various competitions. The Spanish talent remains one of the most experienced and accomplished full-backs in European football. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Mancunian club have been offered a chance to land him. Carvajal is a free agent at the moment, which makes him an affordable option for Man City to consider this month. However, Enzo Maresca could struggle to offer him regular playing time at the Etihad Stadium if he ends up signing him on a free transfer.

Carvajal loves a tackle and can sense the danger well to secure possession back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and is a tidy passer as well from the right flank. The Spanish talent is a good crosser of the ball as well from the wide areas and can engineer the odd chance for his teammates to find the back of the net. Carvajal is primarily a right-back but can also function as a left-back if asked to do so. However, there are some question marks over whether he can adapt to the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if Man City decide to sign him on a free transfer. We can expect Carvajal to enhance the quality of Enzo Maresca’s defence. He has what it takes to serve as a useful rotational piece in the Mancunian club’s squad. At 34, Carvajal is past his prime but could be a good signing for Man City in the short term. However, Maresca has already got Abdukodir Khusanov and Matheus Nunes in his squad, so there is no immediate need for the Mancunian giants to strengthen the right-back position.
