Real Madrid is planning the squad for the next season and the first change will come on the bench, with Xabi Alonso becoming the new coach. For some time now, Florentino has been consulting the Basque about some sports decisions that are considered important, and these talks are bearing fruit. There are various decisions that have already been made, to which the Tolosarra has given his approval, such as the departure of Lucas Vázquez.
Lucas Vázquez Won't Continue at Real Madrid
OKDiario has discovered that Lucas won't continue next season at Madrid, putting an end to his journey at the club. Xabi Alonso has given his okay not to offer a renewal to the third captain, leaving him free once the Club World Cup is over. The Galician's last match at Bernabéu will be on May 25, allowing him to bid farewell with honors to all the fans.
Xabi Alonso is clear that Lucas Vázquez doesn't fit into his planning, with Dani Carvajal and Arnold ahead of him. Despite his experience, it is considered that the best for all parties is to part ways. This last season has left many doubts about his performance, and he doesn't find a place in the Tolosarra coach's plans, who is very clear about it.
Lucas Vázquez: A Farewell with Honors
Lucas Vázquez will end his time at Real Madrid at the end of this season, closing one of the most successful careers in recent years with the white team. He came from the youth academy, went through Espanyol, and returned to become a key player for his versatility, commitment, and dedication.
During his long career as a Madridist, he has been an essential piece both in attack and defense... and in recent years he established himself as a right-back, always offering reliable performance when required. Although he was never a media star, his performance and attitude made him one of the most valued footballers by coaches and teammates.
Lucas will bid farewell to Real Madrid with an impressive record: five Champions Leagues, four Club World Cups, four UEFA Super Cups, four La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, and four Spanish Super Cups. Very few players in the club's history can boast of having contributed to so many achievements.
At 33 years old, Lucas will say goodbye to the team of his life, leaving an indelible mark and undoubtedly earning a special place in Real Madrid's history. His retirement is not considered, and he seems to have several options on the table to continue playing professionally.
