Oct 13 (Reuters) - ⁠Getafe said on Tuesday they ⁠have signed Dani Carvajal on ‌a contract until the end of the season after the veteran defender left ​Real Madrid as a ⁠free agent ⁠in June.

The 34-year-old right back made ⁠451 appearances ‌for Real Madrid, where he claimed 27 ⁠major trophies, and is one of ​only ‌five players to have won ⁠Europe's elite ​club competition six times.

Carvajal, who also spent a season at ⁠Bayer Leverkusen, earned 51 ​caps for Spain, winning the European Championship in 2024 and the Nations ⁠League in 2023.

Getafe, who are 14th in LaLiga with eight points from eight games, are ​scheduled to visit ⁠Real Madrid in January, when Carvajal ​could face his ‌former club for the ​first time.
