He leaves Real Madrid: nearly 20 years come to an end

Real Madrid is preparing to part ways with one of its most loyal and reliable players in recent years — Lucas Vázquez. According to prominent insider Fabrizio Romano, the 33-year-old Spanish full-back will leave the club at the end of the 2024/2025 season as a free agent.

However, before his departure, Vázquez will still have the chance to represent the “Whites” in one more major tournament — the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, set to be held in the USA.

The main reason for his departure is reportedly the expected signing of Liverpool’s right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold by Real Madrid. This transfer marks a significant update to the team’s defensive lineup.

A lifelong story of loyalty

Lucas Vázquez is a product of Real Madrid’s youth academy. He joined the club in 2007 at the age of just 16. His only time away from the club was during the 2014/2015 season when he was loaned to Espanyol.

Vázquez made 398 official appearances for Real’s senior team, scoring 38 goals and providing 73 assists. These numbers show his importance — not just on the pitch, but also as a key figure in the locker room.

The end of an era

Lucas Vázquez’s departure is not just about one player leaving — it symbolizes the end of an era. He was part of Real Madrid’s most successful years, contributing to numerous domestic and European titles.

Now, as the club transitions into a new generation, the exit of such an experienced and emblematic player is especially significant.
