Real Madrid Stars Call for Vote to Block Valverde’s Automatic Captaincy

1 / 2

Real Madrid’s squad is pushing to end the tradition of handing the armband to the longest-serving player. They want a democratic vote instead. With Dani Carvajal losing his place and expected to leave, vice-captain Federico Valverde would be next in line.

Reports suggest the players have urged the club to scrap seniority-based rules and let the dressing room decide who wears the captain’s armband.
