Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal is happy to be on the Ballon d’or list of nominees.
Many players also believe that fullback deserves to be considered a contender for the award.
“It’s clear that, being a defender… In football, what stands out are the goalscorers,” he told The Athletic.
“But well, with the possibility of winning it I am very happy, it refers to the great year I had last year. My family and I are very proud.”
Carvajal added, “I have until next summer on my contract. I’m not considering retirement at the moment. I talk about it with my family: I want to enjoy every game, every training session. As the years go by, you realise you have to give more value to every moment and enjoy it,” he revealed to The Athletic.
“The relationship I have with the club is very transparent, very clear. If both parties agree to continue, I hope to stay here for many years.”
