Lucas Vazquez set for Bayer Leverkusen move

He was a prominent name in the free-agent market, and he has now chosen his next club. Lucas Vazquez's time at Real Madrid concluded with a final adventure at the Club World Cup, bringing to an end a successful chapter in which he played a significant role in a dressing room that defined an era. Now, at this stage of his career, he was seeking a fresh challenge. According to Fabrizio Romano, he has found it.

He will join B. Leverkusen, as confirmed by Romano's signature 'here we go'. An agreement has been reached between all parties for the full-back to join the German side as a free agent, with the club seeking reinforcements in that position following Jeremie Frimpong's move to Liverpool.

According to Fabrizio, the player underwent a medical on Monday, though further details were scarce. The signing is expected to take place this Tuesday, with the official announcement pending.

Thus, the Spaniard will join the team formerly managed by Xabi Alonso, now at Real Madrid, and currently under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, formerly of Ajax and Manchester United. He will become the third Spaniard in the German club's squad, alongside Alejandro Grimaldo and Aleix García.
