Real Madrid's Plan for Lucas Vázquez: Alexander-Arnold Complicates His Future

According to the latest reports, Real Madrid is one step away from transfering Alexander Arnold. The British winger has reportedly informed Liverpool of his intention not to renew so he can move to Bernabéu. Therefore, his arrival would have to take place next summer.

That leaves Lucas Vázquez in a delicate situation, as he sees himself without a position. Right now, he was Carvajal's backup, and with his injury, he has taken on the first-team place in the team. However, all that will change if Arnold's transfer is finally confirmed.

With the Brit and once Carvajal recovers, he will become the third right wing in the team. So very few minutes are expected for him if he ultimately decides to stay. Otherwise, he will have to leave next summer for another team.

The Galician finishes his contract on June 30th and so far nothing has been announced about his renewal. He would be waiting to see what happens with Alexander Arnold before making a move. Real Madrid is willing to wait to see what decision he makes.

Real Madrid proposes a plan to Lucas to make him stay

It's clear that as a full-back, he will have few minutes with Carvajal and Arnold on the team. But as a winger, his natural position, it also doesn't seem like he will have many opportunities. However, Real Madrid is willing to keep him for one more year.

The club would accept offering him a one-season renewal with a salary reduction. Additionally, he would have to accept a secondary role in the team. At least on the field, since inside the locker room, he is a essential person.

He's one of the captains of the team and one of the people who generates the most unity. Within the club, they know everything he contributes and that no one else can replace that. For this reason, he would stay, helping the team at key moments, but building team spirit.
