Lucas Vázquez will also have his farewell... but it won't be with Modric and Ancelotti.

The end of the current league campaign is approaching with the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad at Santiago Bernabéu. This match against the sports discipline coached by Imanol Alguacil doesn't put anything at stake in competitive terms, but it will be a special moment for all Madridists. After all, three legends of the merengue team are leaving: Luka Modric, Lucas Vázquez, and Carlo Ancelotti.

The future of the Croatian playmaker and the Reggiolo coach is already officially decided: both will leave the team, although they will do so at different times. Because the Croatian '10' will hold on until the Club World Cup, placing himself under Xabi Alonso's orders, to say goodbye definitively to Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti, on the other hand, will end his second stint as the white team's coach just when Mario Melero López blows the final whistle. The last legend bidding farewell to the merengue fans and Santiago Bernabéu is Lucas Vázquez, around whom no official statement has yet been issued. All speculations indicate that the Galician footballer will leave the team at the end of the Club World Cup, following Luka Modric's path, but there is no confirmation.

The information published by José Félix Díaz in recent hours, however, significantly clarifies the situation. Lucas Vázquez, according to the MARCA journalist, has decided to announce his departure from the white club after the Club World Cup. Thus, his farewell to Santiago Bernabéu will be the most "modest" of all those prepared for today's event.

Emotional moment

Lucas Vázquez found himself in a difficult dilemma to solve. After all, the '17' could have announced his departure from the first team in the hours leading up to this Real Madrid-Real Sociedad to include himself in the "acts" of Modric and Ancelotti. He also had the option to stay in the background, giving up that prominence, and announce his departure right after the match.

Neither of those two scenarios would apply in the case of Lucas Vázquez. José Félix Díaz has already set an official date for the end of the Galician defender's era at Real Madrid, a glorious decade of titles and moments etched in memory. As a final act of professionalism, the Galician defender will wait until the white club's journey through the Club World Cup is over.

It will be then, after having been under Xabi Alonso's tactical command for a few weeks, when such an emotional moment as difficult to digest will become official. But also necessary, given the new roadmap already being handled in the Valdebebas offices. Because the arrival of Xabi Alonso has accelerated all the processes of the generational change.

Not only through the suggested signings with which the Tolosa coach would be arriving in the Spanish capital. The competitive needs of the first team are an easily recognizable obviousness by the white leadership, which is already moving its first pieces to seal the most necessary signings.
