LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – Bayer Leverkusen has completed the signing of veteran Spanish international Lucas Vázquez on a free transfer from Real Madrid.
The deal is officially done, with the 34-year-old right-back agreeing to a two-year contract that will see him remain at the club until 2027.
The move marks a new chapter for Vázquez, who leaves Real Madrid after over a decade with the first team.
Having departed the Spanish giants as a free agent, he had attracted interest from multiple clubs across Europe and the Middle East but ultimately chose to join the Bundesliga side.
In a swift process, he has already completed a secret medical examination ahead of today’s official signing.
Vázquez’s arrival is a significant strategic move for Bayer Leverkusen, who are now managed by Erik ten Hag.
The versatile player is expected to fill the void left by Jeremie Frimpong, who recently completed a move to Liverpool.
With his ability to play as both a right-back and a right winger, Vázquez will provide valuable experience and depth to the squad.
Securing a player of his caliber on a free transfer is a shrewd piece of business for the club.
His extensive experience and winning mentality, having won 23 trophies with Real Madrid, are expected to be a major asset as Leverkusen looks to defend their domestic title and compete in the Champions League.
