According to the Spanish media Ass, Kavajal replaced Modric as the first captain. After Lucas Vazquez left the team, the other captains were Valverde, Courtois and Vinicius in turn. The departure of Modric and Vosques marks the beginning of a new era in Real Madrid. The club's policy is very clear: the four most experienced players in the team will inherit the honors and responsibilities of leading the team on the court. The roster of captains for the 2025-26 season are: Carvajal, Valverde, Courtois and Vinicius.

Kawajal

He is the first captain of the 2025-26 season. The only senior youth training player in the team. He has played for the first team since 2013. He had laid the foundation for the Bardebebas base in the company of Distefano. In Real Madrid's history, his name has been engraved. If there are no injuries and their performance is close to the level two years ago, Real Madrid and Carvajal will need to sit down and discuss the possibility of renewal until 2027.

Valverde

Valverde proved himself in Castilla and La Coruna and was able to enter the first team. In September 2017, he made his debut for Laco in La Liga. In October 2018, he made his debut in Real Madrid in a victory against Bilson in the Champions League. Since that year, Valverde has been a regular member of the first team. His fighting spirit, loyalty, hard work and heavy shooting have won the hearts of Real Madrid fans. The troughs of ups and downs in the state and uncertain positions on the field have been left behind. Valverde is a versatile player. Can play multiple positions, perform well and improve teammates. Since last season, he has been controlling the rhythm of the game alone. It's only a matter of time before Valverde becomes the first captain.

Courtois

Courtois joined Real Madrid when Lopetegui coached in the summer of 2018. His first season was not going well, but his performance in the years that followed was undisputed and his attitude was also true. Despite injuries or a brief trough in form, he has proven himself to be leader and speak out. Courtois has expressed his views on teammates, coaches, management and national team coaches. Like Kavajal, his contract will expire in 2026.

Vinitius

Vinitius also played for Real Madrid since 2018. From August to September of the same year, he played for Castilla. Vinicius made his first team debut in the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu. He is a controversial figure. He went through every stage of the transformation process. From being ridiculed to bringing Real Madrid to the peak in the post-Royce era. Right now, Vinicius is experiencing the worst trough since his fame. His contract expires in 2027 and the future is pending. The only sure thing is that if Carvajal, Courtois and Valverde are all absent from Alonso's starting eleven players, he will be seen wearing the captain's armband.
