Lucas Vázquez will not continue at Real Madrid next season, leaving as his contractual commitment ends. He took advantage of the last LaLiga match to unofficially say goodbye to Santiago Bernabéu, although his departure has not yet been announced. He was substituted in the 77th minute, receiving a great ovation from the crowd and heading toward the benches for the last time.
Lucas Vázquez refuses to stay at Real Madrid
The decision to leave was made by the Galician footballer himself, having rejected a proposal for a one-year contract renewal. This, revealed by Edu Aguirre on El Chiringuito, would have allowed him to continue another year under the same salary conditions. But he didn't want to, definitively ending his cycle at Real Madrid.
He has said goodbye to Bernabéu, but he hasn't said his last word yet. Because Lucas Vázquez will be present at the next Club World Cup to be held in the United States. Although his contract ends on June 30, he will see it extended for a few more weeks until Madrid's presence in this tournament ends.
Goodbye to Real Madrid: He has a deal to play in Saudi Arabia
In this regard, Madrid-Barcelona has learned that his next destination is set pending signature. Lucas Vázquez will play in Saudi Arabia when his contract with Real Madrid ends, leaving Europe to secure a great contract. Although this aspect has not yet been confirmed, he is expected to join the ranks of Al-Qadsiah, a club with a strong Spanish presence that finished third in the league.
Sources suggest that the presence of Míchel as coach or his former teammate Nacho Fernández may have been key to Lucas Vázquez's decision. We would be talking about a contract for the next two or three seasons, earning a net salary of 10 million euros for each of them.
This way, by going to Saudi Arabia, Lucas Vázquez will secure his last big salary, increasing his bank account. In those three years, he will earn practically more than he has earned in his entire career wearing the Real Madrid jersey. It has been very difficult to say no, living a dream golden retirement surrounded by familiar faces.
