In a significant move in the summer transfer window, Bayer Leverkusen has secured the signing of Lucas Vázquez, a five-time UEFA Champions League winner, on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Real Madrid.
The 34-year-old Spaniard, who spent a decade at the Santiago Bernabéu, signed a two-year deal with the Bundesliga club that will run until June 30, 2027. Vázquez, versatile as a right-back or wide midfielder, brings a wealth of experience, having won 23 trophies with Real Madrid, including four La Liga titles.
Leverkusen, undergoing a squad rebuild after losing key players like Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool and coach Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, sees Vázquez as a pivotal addition. "We have signed an extremely experienced player who has won everything there is to win with Real Madrid," said Leverkusen’s managing director Simon Rolfes.
Vázquez, who completed his medical in Madrid, could debut for Leverkusen against Werder Bremen this weekend. The move was influenced by positive insights from Alonso and teammate Dani Carvajal, highlighting Leverkusen’s appeal.
