Lucas Vazquez announces his departure from Real Madrid | OneFootball

Following Luka Modric’s recent departure, Real Madrid have now confirmed that another long-serving stalwart, Lucas Vázquez, will also be leaving the club.

A farewell ceremony is set to take place in the coming days as the versatile right-back – who has spent 18 years at the Bernabéu - bids goodbye to Los Blancos.

Vázquez first joined the club’s youth setup in 2007, aged just 16, and made his senior debut in 2015 after a brief loan spell with Espanyol. Since then, the Galician has been a reliable and consistent squad player for Madrid across a decade of service.

In total, he made 402 appearances, scoring 38 goals and providing 73 assists. While often operating under the radar, particularly in later seasons where he featured mainly from the bench, Vázquez earned the respect of teammates and fans alike with his professionalism, work rate and adaptability.

His honours list speaks for itself: 23 major trophies, including five Champions League titles, five Club World Cups, four UEFA Super Cups, four La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey, and four Spanish Super Cups.
