‘Legend’ Lucas Vázquez Leaves Madrid After 18 Years

Lucas Vázquez is set to leave Real Madrid after 18 years at his boyhood club.

The club will honour the player described as a ‘legend’ with a reception on Thursday at Real Madrid.

A statement by the club said the event will take place at Real Madrid City with president Florentino Pérez in attendance.

“Real Madrid would like to express its gratitude and affection to Lucas Vázquez, one of the great legends of our club.”

Florentino Pérez assured him that Bernabeu will remain his home.

“Lucas Vázquez represents the values of Real Madrid in an exemplary way, which has made him one of the most loved players by our fans. The figure of Lucas Vázquez symbolises the work, perseverance, humility and a winning spirit essential to succeed with this shirt. He is a player who receives the affection and recognition of all Real Madrid. Real Madrid is and always will be his home.”

Lucas arrived at Real Madrid in 2007, at the age of 16, and played in all categories of our youth academy from Juvenil C to Castilla.

After a season on loan at Espanyol, he made his debut with Real Madrid’s first team in September 2015.

Since then, he has defended our shirt in 402 games over 10 seasons, in one of the most successful stages in Real Madrid’s history.

In all this time, he has won 23 titles: 5 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey and 4 Spanish Super Cups.
