- MARCA reports club officials now take it for granted that Carvajal will leave when his deal expires this summer, with no extension talks under way.
- Academy right-back David Jimenez started at Valencia and is now viewed as a likely first-team squad member next season, with talks expected over his future.
- Trent Alexander-Arnold returned from a hamstring injury as a substitute in the 2-0 win at Valencia, and Arbeloa says his minutes will be managed cautiously as he builds fitness.
