Real Madrid bid Lucas Vazquez farewell after he spent over 18 years at his boyhood club, where he rose from an academy prodigy to an undisputed starter and captain.
It was time for Vazquez to go. His performances had begun to hurt Real Madrid, and parting ways was the wisest decision. The farewell was spectacular, though it also stirred some negative buzz online.
All in all, Vazquez’s character as a Real Madrid player throughout his career has been nothing short of professional and mature. He truly led by example and will go down as an important figure in the club’s history.
Now, the Spaniard must decide where his future lies beyond Real Madrid. And the media has it all covered.
Lucas Vazquez’s heartfelt decision will melt Real Madrid fans’ hearts
According to a report from Diario AS, Vazquez is looking for a destination that offers a convincing sporting project as well as stability for his personal and family life. But there’s one condition he has put on the table.
He wants to move abroad and not stay in La Liga, as he wants to avoid facing Real Madrid, his boyhood club. He had previously been linked with Espanyol and Deportivo La Coruna, his hometown team, but he now prefers to leave the Spanish league system altogether out of loyalty to Real Madrid.
Look, as Real Madrid fans, many of us had grown tired of seeing Vazquez play during the past season. He started making a lot of mistakes and got more wrong than right. But we have to acknowledge the unwavering commitment with which he served Los Blancos all these years.
He has been the most loyal servant, stayed out of controversy, and never complained about his role. He filled in wherever he was asked and served in the most selfless manner.
Whatever anyone says, I consider Vazquez a legend of this club.
