Former Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has been offered to three Premier League clubs, it has been reported - including a surprise reunion with Alvaro Arbeloa at struggling Fulham.
Carvajal has been without a club since his Real contract expired at the end of June, with Los Blancos choosing not to renew. He has remained a free agent after the transfer deadline, meaning he is free to sign for another club between now and January.
According to TEAMtalk, the 34-year-old's agents are attempting to find him a new club and have offered him out to both Liverpool and Manchester City.
Dani Carvajal offered for Premier League move
Carvajal has never played in the Premier League before, having spent 13 years at Real Madrid in what was his second spell after coming through the club's youth system. He spent a season at Bayer Leverkusen between 2012 and 2013.
But he may now have the opportunity, with the 34-year-old having been offered to three clubs in the English top flight.

He would not be able to sign for Liverpool between now and January as Andoni Iraola's side do not have a free non-homegrown slot in their Premier League squad list.

City, meanwhile, have a number of spaces remaining, with the signing of midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest helping to balance out their quota.
It is Fulham, though, that are said to have 'interest' in signing Carvajal, who also has interest from the MLS, Saudi Pro League and 'elsewhere in Europe'.
A move to Craven Cottage, though, could present its own issues, given Arbeloa regularly preferred Trent Alexander-Arnold to Carvajal at right-back during his time in charge of Real Madrid.

Arbeloa wasn’t best pleased when a comment he made about the right-back battle between Alexander-Arnold and Carvajal gained significant attention.
The Spaniard said he would ‘think about what’s best for the team’ when asked why he had chosen Alexander-Arnold at right-back for a 2-1 win over Alaves.
When asked again in a subsequent press conference, he dismissed the answer and said he had no issues with Carvajal.
“It was a short, serious answer to a question I thought was out of place," Arbeloa stated.

“It wasn’t short based on Dani Carvajal. You can see since I’ve been here what my answers have been about him. And you can ask my players how I speak about Dani Carvajal with the group.
“People are trying to put an unjustified, unfair spin on this … he’s a fundamental player, on and off the pitch. He might be the most important academy product in the history of the club.
“I’ve always had a great relationship with him.”
Having taken over as Fulham head coach over the summer, Arbeloa has lost all three of his opening games in the Premier League after Saturday's 3-2 defeat at home to Crystal Palace.
Cottagers winger Kevin posted a cryptic message to social media after the Palace defeat, while midfielder Emile Smith Rowe appeared to wipe his Instagram page entirely.
