The Main Target of Madrid - Leganés: Florentino is Angry and His Days Are Numbered

The Imminent Departure Decided by Florentino Pérez After a Real Madrid Player's Poor Performance

The recent match between Real Madrid and Leganés made some things clear for Florentino Pérez. Despite the 3-2 victory, the right-back position continues to present some problems. With Carvajal's injury, the team has been unable to rely on a player who is up to the task of covering the right flank.

While Lucas Vázquez is tasked with playing in this area, his performance hasn't been up to par. The match against Leganés showed, in Florentino Pérez's eyes, that his time at Real Madrid is coming to an end. Making many mistakes that led to his substitution for Valverde, Florentino was angry with Lucas.

Even with the victory against Leganés, Lucas Vázquez's future at Real Madrid looks nonexistent. With Carvajal's return, the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, and his contract ending next summer, Lucas's departure is imminent.

Florentino Pérez's Anger

Playing his tenth season with Real Madrid, Lucas Vázquez is one of the team's legends. Having contributed to several of the club's titles, Lucas's legacy is undeniable. However, Florentino Pérez's anger with him has confirmed that his performance this season isn't the best.

At 33 years old, Lucas is getting closer to leaving Madrid at the end of this season, thus ending his cycle. Having joined the club's youth academy in 2007, everything points to Lucas not being able to finish his career at the team of his dreams.

Although in the past he had chances to stay, his performance against Leganés has eliminated any opportunity to continue at Real Madrid. Without renewal offers, Lucas's future points to a possible move to Arabia or the MLS.

Lucas's Moment

Just as Real Madrid has bid farewell to several of its great legends over time, now it's Lucas's moment. After all the years he has helped Real Madrid achieve several titles, it's time for Lucas to have a new destination.
