Sentenced by Real Madrid, His Departure Is Imminent After a Year to Forget

His level hasn't been pleasing, and they would have already made the decision for his farewell this summer

There are still some titles left to compete for, and Real Madrid wants to make the most of their chances in La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Club World Cup. However, the poor season, especially in the Champions League, is taking its toll. That's why some players already know that continuing is very difficult.

This is the case for Lucas Vázquez, whose contract ends on June 30 and will not be renewed. More and more sources seem to indicate this, the latest being Fabrizio Romano, who is pessimistic about him. He doesn't believe the Galician will stay at Real Madrid next season.

In fact, he has pointed out that at the moment there are no negotiations between the player and the club for an extension. An unmistakable sign that Lucas will not continue at Real Madrid. Especially considering that Alexander Arnold will be signed and Carvajal will return from his injury.

The truth is that last season there was already uncertainty regarding Lucas Vázquez. It was unclear whether he would be renewed or if, on the contrary, he would end up leaving Real Madrid. Ultimately, they did reach an agreement to extend his contract for one more year.

Criticized for His Season, Lucas Vázquez Will Leave This Coming Summer

Real Madrid's season has been marked by the elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals. The image the Merengues have given hasn't been good, and some are pointing fingers at the culprits. Many of the criticisms are being directed at Lucas Vázquez.

It's true that against Arsenal, he was one of the best in the second leg at the Bernabéu. But this season he has suffered every time he has had to face a top-level opponent. Against the big teams, his performances have been highly questioned for not measuring up.

This led Ancelotti to even rely on Fede Valverde in some matches this season. And Lucas is one of those criticized for underperforming. It will take its toll on him as he is not expected to be renewed this summer.
