Espanyol eyeing deal for free agent defender | OneFootball

The brass at La Liga outfit Espanyol are eyeing a summer reunion with a player to have previously enjoyed a productive loan spell with the club.

That’s according to multiple sources across the Spanish media, who point towards Lucas

Defender Vázquez is for his part fresh off bringing a close to his career-long Real Madrid stint this summer.

As much comes after those in a position of power in Spain’s capital made the call not to offer the 34-year-old an extension to his expiring terms.

Upon Real’s endeavours at the Club World Cup coming to a close last month, Vázquez, in turn, became available as a free agent.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media on Monday is anything to go by, then this may not stay the case for long.

As per club insiders ‘El 1900’, amongst others, Espanyol are considering a move for the versatile full-back over the weeks ahead.

Any such move would make for a reunion between the two parties, after Vázquez spent the 2014/15 campaign plying his trade on loan at the RCDE Stadium.
