Lucas Vázquez's Future Up in the Air: U-turn and His Contract Renewal is Halted

Lucas Vázquez is one of the most beloved and inspiring players that Real Madrid currently has in its squad. It is a fact that the Galician has managed to establish himself in the white club as an essential pillar over the years. However, as it seems to be the end of his career, things have taken a sudden turn regarding his continuity.

Right now, the management is not at all convinced that the renewal of the Spaniard is a good option for the club, quite the opposite. Therefore, despite being a figure and even a legend for many, things will not flow much for the moment. The management must carefully evaluate whether Lucas Vázquez's permanence is the best option for the club for the present and future.

Lucas perfectly understands that his best years have passed and that, if he stays, he will seek to contribute what is best for the club. However, it is the management that will have the final say on his future.

Paused Renewal

We know how Real Madrid operates regarding the renewals of its veteran players. Many times it only acts as the administrative part in what constitutes a renewal that is 90% the player's decision with the club's consent. But it seems that with Lucas it will not be like that.

Vázquez's performance this season has been so low that things have changed regarding his continuity. Additionally, the arrival of Alexander-Arnold could almost certainly leave him without a position for the future project.

This causes the possibility of his continuity to be subject exclusively to what the management decides. Now, at 33 years old, his future seems more distant from staying at Real Madrid than continuing one more season at the club of his loves.

Respect the Decision

As is logical, Lucas perfectly understands that this is about performance and project and will respect the management's final decision. However, he himself may have noticed that it might be best to make room for the club's new stars.
