Real Madrid Confidencial The unexpected destination in Spain for Lucas Vázquez, about to fulfill a big dream
Deportivo wants to return to the first division and the Galician would be the star of the project for the team from his homeland
Lucas Vázquez is close to making a decision that nobody expected. The Galician, who has just closed his chapter at Real Madrid, could return home to fulfill one of his greatest dreams: playing for Deportivo de La Coruña.
After finishing his contract with the white club, the footballer from Curtis is now a free agent and he is not short of offers. Clubs from Italy, Türkiye, and other countries have already inquired about him.
Juventus, Milan, and Besiktas are just some of the interested parties. However, among all those proposals, there is one that touches his heart, and that is Dépor.
Key meeting in Galicia
According to diario As, Lucas had dinner last Saturday with Deportivo's top management. At the table were Juan Carlos Escotet, the club's president, Massimo Benassi, general manager, and Fernando Soriano, sporting director.
During the meeting, they presented him with the Galician team's project. It is an ambitious plan that aims to bring Dépor back to the First Division. On that path, Lucas would have a key role, both in sports and symbolically.
Return home
Born in Curtis, very close to A Coruña, Lucas grew up watching Deportivo. His signing would mean a return to his roots. Although he could find more attractive offers financially, the emotion of wearing the blue and white jersey may weigh more.
The player is calmly considering his future. He is 33 years old and he feels that he still has a lot of football left in his boots. He also wants to feel important, and at Riazor he would have a leading role from day one.
The news has sparked a wave of excitement among Deportivo's supporters. Seeing a former Real Madrid player, a champion of everything, defend their badge would be a game-changer for a fanbase that dreams of returning to the top.
Although there is still no finalized agreement, talks are progressing. If everything continues this way, Lucas could wear Dépor's jersey this very season.
An unexpected twist for an elite player. Also a love story for his homeland. Because sometimes, returning home is the best decision.
