Official: Lucas Vázquez leaves Real Madrid and Florentino will bid him farewell with honors

Real Madrid is immersed in the process of significantly modifying its squad before the start of the 25/26 soccer season. One of the most striking aspects of this work is the departure of players who no longer have a place in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The changes brought by Xabi Alonso are beginning to take hold.

From the Valdebebas offices, they have no doubt: they'll support any decision made by the Tolosa coach so that the generational change is complete and fully established. That's why they also would have decided to let go of two players who no longer fit in that idea of having young footballers in the squad. The two most affected are legends like Luka Modric and Lucas Vázquez.

Given the commotion surrounding AC Milan's new "14", Lucas Vázquez's role had gone somewhat more unnoticed. Also because the Galician full-back himself had wanted it that way, always discreet and without fuss, a clear hallmark of his time in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. However, the board understands that he deserves his moment of glory to close a wonderful chapter in the capital of Spain.

Thus, Real Madrid has published an official statement warning of the "farewell ceremony for Lucas Vázquez". The Merengue club "announces that tomorrow, Thursday, July 17, at 1:00 p.m., an institutional tribute and farewell ceremony" for the Galician full-back will take place at Ciudad Real Madrid. This event will be led by Florentino Pérez, according to the white squad's website publication.

His moment has arrived

In addition to the thanks to Lucas Vázquez, "one of the great legends of our club", the official statement published just minutes ago reviews the extensive list of honors of the player from Curtis. The Galician youth product has made history with "5 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 4 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey, and 4 Spanish Super Cups". His titles are not the only thing Lucas Vázquez leaves as a legacy in Merengue history.

"Lucas Vázquez exemplarily represents Real Madrid's values, which has made him one of the most beloved players by our fans", says Florentino Pérez about him. For the top executive of the Merengue squad, "the figure" of the Galician full-back "symbolizes the work, perseverance, humility, and a winning spirit essential to succeed with this jersey".

For these reasons, aside from the titles won with the first white team, "he takes with him the affection and recognition of all Madridism. Real Madrid is and will always be his home", concludes a Florentino Pérez who will bid farewell to another of the players from a recent glorious era, in sporting terms, at Real Madrid.

"Real Madrid wishes him and his entire family the best of luck in this new stage of his life", concludes the official statement published on the Madridist website. With this farewell ceremony, scheduled for tomorrow, the Spanish capital club gives a grand send-off to a footballer who understood and embraced its values to perfection.
