Earlier this week, Dani Carvajal (33) visited Qatar, where he met his former Real Madrid team-mate Joselu, who is also his brother-in-law, having married his sister. The striker is part of the Al-Gharafa team.
He posed with the shirt of the team from Qatar, which made the Madrid fans think about a possible transfer.

Injured Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal continues his recovery, hoping to return to Xabi Alonso's squad as soon as possible. He took advantage of the time spent outside the field to visit his sister, but also his brother-in-law, Joselu, according to tribuna.com. The former Real striker is currently playing at Al-Gharafa, a team from Qatar, where he is a colleague of Florinel Coman.
When local club officials learned of Dani Carvajal's arrival, they immediately gave him a warm welcome. The club's president, His Highness Jassim bin Thamer Al Thani, personally presented him with a club shirt with his name on it.
In an Instagram post that could raise tensions among Real Madrid fans, Carvajal appears holding a team shirt with his name on it, an image that could be interpreted as an introduction to a transfer. In this case, however, it is only a gift.

Below the posts appeared comments from Al-Gharafa fans, who expressed their hope that one day the experienced footballer could pull on the team's shirt.
Incidentally, Dani Carvajal assisted in Al-Gharafa's 1-0 win against Al Wahda in the Asian Champions League. In this game, Joselu even replaced Florinel Coman.
