Ex-Real Madrid defender Lucas Vázquez set for Leverkusen move, per Fabrizio Romano

The former Real Madrid man is on the verge of completing a shock move to Bayer Leverkusen.

In a surprising turn of events on midnight of Monday, 25 August, it was confirmed that Lucas Vázquez will join Bayer Leverkusen. 

As Fabrizio Romano revealed, a deal was agreed with the former Real Madrid right-back who joins Leverkusen as free agent. 

The Spaniard’s medical was already conducted in secret and the deal will be officially signed on Tuesday, 26 August. 

According to Spanish journalist Miguel Ángel Díaz, Vázquez will sign a 2-year-long contract at the Rhineland club. 

The 34-year-old’s deal with the Galacticos expired this summer despite featuring in 32 La Liga games while providing a goal and 5 assists in 2024/25.

He brings with him a wealth of experience having won La Liga (4), Copa del Rey (1), Champions League (5), and FIFA Club World Cup (3). 

Vázquez will be trusted with making the right wing-back role his own in Erik ten Hag’s 3-4-2-1 formation.
