Real Madrid will soon announce new contracts for veteran utility men and the Spanish international duo of Nacho and Lucas Vazquez.
According to a report by Spanish outlet AS, Nacho and Lucas Vazquez face an uncertain future at Real Madrid. But the Spanish giants will not part ways with the Spanish duo in the summer transfer window, with announcements of their new contracts close to materialising.
Nacho, Lucas Vazquez and the tale of reliable Real Madrid backups
Nacho has been with Real Madrid since his youth career. He joined Los Blancos as an 11-year-old from AD Complutense. He subsequently rose through the ranks at the Spanish club before making his first-team debut in 2011. Since then, he has been a dependable asset for Real Madrid, albeit as a backup figure.
Nevertheless, the 34-year-old has racked up over 350 appearances for Real Madrid, chipping in with 16 goals and nine assists. But the veteran utility man faces an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu after entering the final six months of his contract. Like Nacho, Lucas Vazquez is in the last days of his deal.
With the Spanish international duo approaching the end of their respective contracts, the Merengues need to make a decision on their futures, as they can depart from the Bernabeu as free agents in the summer transfer window. Real Madrid will seemingly make an announcement on Nacho and Vazquez soon.
New Contracts Coming?
The report claims that Nacho and Lucas Vazquez will soon sign new contracts with Real Madrid, thus extending their stays at the Bernabeu. Considering they are two of the most experienced members of the dressing room, Real Madrid’s decision to hand them new deals is sensible despite their advancing years.
Real Madrid will likely part ways with Luka Modric in the summer transfer window, with potential replacement options emerging as targets. So, keeping hold of Nacho, Vazquez, and Toni Kroos will ensure a smooth transition to the next generation.
Nacho and Lucas Vazquez’s suitors will have to look elsewhere. Serie A clubs had shown interest in the veteran Spanish utility men. But neither experienced Spaniard will leave Real Madrid as a free agent in the summer transfer window.
