It was announced in Marca by José Felix Díaz,the best-informed journalist about everything that happens in Real Madrid's offices.
The news didn't please Dani Carvajal at all, who has spent half his life with him as a fellow sufferer. Real Madrid has seriously considered his continuity, but the coaching staff has opted to open the doors of Bernabéu for his departure.
Ancelotti Pardoned Him Last Season
Always in the shadows, but always necessary, he has lived through the most glorious moments in Real Madrid's history, collecting titles.
Approaching 34 years old, he found himself in that phase where Florentino Pérez renews his thirty-somethings year by year. Already last summer, he was very close to leaving. But Ancelotti pardoned him at the last minute.
Now the club is betting on young players as alternatives. For the one who will arrive, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and for Dani Carvajal, who will be at full performance next season.
Lucas Vázquez's Farewell was announced by José Félix Díaz in Marca. He did so after a section of the Bernabéu stands rewarded his play against Rayo Vallecano with whistles.
Lucas Vázquez could still save himself with an epic end of the season when the titles are at stake. He has been in this situation before and has benefited from an outstanding final sprint.
Meanwhile, waiting for Real Madrid to make a definitive decision regarding their versatile wing-back, a team has knocked on his door to reassure him.
Either Espanyol or Arabia
It is a very special club for him, RCD Espanyol, where he played on loan a decade ago, in the 2014-15 season. There, he earned his way back to Real Madrid and learned to fight against Barça from another perspective, looking from below.
His next ten years at Real Madrid have made him one of the great players in the club's history in terms of title collection. He was never an undisputed starter, but he was always more than a substitute.
His service record to the club is full of feats. But if he ultimately doesn't continue at Bernabéu next season, he will be able to choose between Espanyol, staying in Spain, and Arabia. There, they promise him a salary higher than Real Madrid's.
The last word is his.
