Lucas Vázquez’s season at Real Madrid, which could be his last, has not been easy. The Galician full-back has been the focus of criticism for his poor defensive performance throughout the season, coming off the pitch in many games as the direct culprit for some of the goals conceded, leading Carlo Ancelotti to opt for Fede Valverde as full-back in important matches.
Alexander-Arnold seals his renewal
The player has been under scrutiny all season and his hypothetical continuity, already decided solely on his performance, has been sealed with the confirmation of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s arrival at Real Madrid. The Galician full-back’s contract expires on June 30, although he has a clause in his contract that will allow him to play in the Club World Cup.
Even so, Arnold’s arrival is expected on June 1, and the return of captain Dani Carvajal could happen in time for the FIFA tournament. Xabi Alonso will have to decide, depending on how he sees the Leganés player, whether or not he needs the Galician at Real Madrid or if he will be relegated to the bench in his farewell.
Two new options for the future for Lucas Vázquez
Lucas Vázquez’s future at the Santiago Bernabéu has been decided. His departure will be one of the highlights of the end of the season for the Whites, and the full-back is already thinking about his future away from Real Madrid. There are several options for him both inside and outside LaLiga.
According to OKDiario in recent hours, “Saudi Arabia and Qatar want to sign Lucas Vázquez. There is still no formal offer, but several clubs have already expressed their interest.” In Saudi Arabia, there has been talk of interest from Al-Qadisiyah. The club coached by Michel González is home to former Real Madrid player Nacho, a close friend of Lucas Vázquez with whom he shared many minutes in the defense of the white team.
There is talk of an offer from Al-Qadisiyah for two seasons, with an annual salary of over €15 million. Lucas Vázquez will leave Real Madrid as a legend. He has always been available to the club and is an important figure in the dressing room. The Galician full-back has won no fewer than five Champions League titles with the Whites, making him one of the most successful players in European competition.
