Real Madrid Committed his future to Los Blancos

After penning a new Real Madrid contract with an increased release clause, defender Dani Carvajal revealed his delight as he hopes to remain at the capital club for the rest of his career.

Since returning to the club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2013, the 25-year-old has excelled and made the right-back role his own.

As a result, he was rewarded with a contract extension which has now tied him to Real until 2022.

"This club is such a big part of my life so this is fulfilling a dream for me. I'm very grateful to the club," Carvajal told reporters.

"It is another great day in my life, to extend my contract with the club I love, the club that is my family. I want to win everything here.

"The release clause is also so high so that nobody can take me away from here and I don't want to leave."

As a La Fabrica graduate himself, Carvajal offered his advice to young players at the club hoping to one day follow in his footsteps and also confessed to holding an ambition to one day captain his boyhood heroes.

"I feel very proud to be an example for the youth at the club and in the dressing room, there are several like me. My advice is a lot of work, humility and belief that you can get here," he said.

"It is difficult to get here but there are players in the youth system who are capable of going on to play for the first team.

"I would also be lying if I said to you that I have never imagined myself as the captain here... but if that comes, it will be a long time into the future.

"Our captain is Sergio Ramos and he does it wonderfully. Some day I would like to do it though."

Emilio Butragueno also congratulated the Spain international on his new deal, hailing Carvajal as an example for all who follow.

"You are a symbol of what our youth system represents. A child from the Ciudad Deportiva foundation had a dream and today you are here," he said.

"You have earned everything through hard work and are an example for all children and youngsters who are currently at the club. We are delighted with this renewal."
