Real Madrid legend Lucas Vázquez set to sign with Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

Lucas Vázquez

Real Madrid legend Lucas Vázquez is about to join Bayer Leverkusen.

Last night, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano first reported that Lucas Vázquez was on Bayer Leverkusen's radar. Just an hour later, the Italian journalist revealed that the deal was sealed, with the Spanish player set to sign a two-year contract. Vázquez has already completed his medical examination.

A high-profile move hammered out in mere moments for Leverkusen, who are expected to make the signing official in the coming days. For Vázquez, this marks his first experience in a new league.

At Real Madrid since 2007, Lucas Vázquez had previously spent time on loan at other Spanish clubs but had never left Los Blancos until his contract expired on July 14. This transfer seems like the perfect opportunity for all parties, especially as Vázquez did not envision continuing at Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso and the salary terms offered to him.
