The future of Lucas Vázquez at Real Madrid seems to have entered its final stretch. Despite his importance in the dressing room and being one of the club's most experienced players, the Galician does not have his continuity guaranteed for the next season. According to sources close to the board, Florentino Pérez has already made the decision to dispense with his services once the current campaign concludes.
The right-back, who will turn 34 in the summer, is out of contract in June, and as of today, there are no active negotiations for his renewal. His performance this season has been marked by ups and downs, and not even the extra time to recover during the international break allowed him to perform at the expected level. Carlo Ancelotti chose to substitute him during the match against Leganés (3-2), bringing in Fede Valverde as an improvised full-back, a clear sign that he is no longer considered an essential piece.
No place in Real Madrid's future
Furthermore, as reported in DefensaCentral, the imminent signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold reinforces the idea that the right flank will change owners very soon. The Englishman would arrive to take over from both Vázquez and Dani Carvajal, whose future is also in doubt after a serious injury.
Lucas has publicly acknowledged that he is considering all options, from staying, moving to another league, or even retiring. Saudi Arabia, the MLS, and some Spanish teams like Mallorca and Espanyol have already shown interest. But everything points to his cycle at the Santiago Bernabéu coming to an end after a decade of dedication and professionalism. Florentino has already made a move, and Lucas Vázquez will have to choose his next destination.
