Real Madrid star drawing summer interest from Espanyol | OneFootball

A departing member of the defensive ranks at Real Madrid is drawing interest by way of La Liga rivals Espanyol ahead of the summer.

That’s according to Marca, citing Diario Sport, who point towards Lucas Vázquez as the player in question.

Versatile right-back Vázquez is of course set to bring his career-long stint on the books of Real Madrid to a definitive close over the coming weeks.

The 33-year-old will see his terms in Spain’s capital come to a close on June 30th, with the Blancos brass having long made the call not to offer Vázquez a renewal.

If the latest word stemming from the media early this week is anything to go by, though, then the Spanish international will not have a hard time finding a new club.

As per Marca, joining clubs from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and MLS in the Vázquez sweepstakes are La Liga outfit Espanyol.

The experienced campaigner spent the 2014/15 season on loan at the RCDE Stadium, with the Espanyol brass taking into serious consideration a reunion bid this summer.

It now remains to be seen if Vázquez himself is interested in such a move.
