The future of Lucas Vázquez seems to be on the verge of being written in the Bundesliga. As reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Galician winger has everything set to join Bayer Leverkusen under Erik ten Hag for the next two seasons, a significant step in his career after ending his long spell at Real Madrid.

The 34-year-old player had become a free agent after competing in the Club World Cup with the white team, which sparked the interest of several teams both in Europe and beyond. Among the alternatives he considered were destinations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Turkey, in addition to an offer from Deportivo de la Coruña, his hometown club. However, the option of continuing in competitive elite football, with the possibility of playing in the Champions League, has been decisive in choosing the direction towards Germany.

Ten Hag wants Lucas Vázquez at Bayer Leverkusen

The move is so advanced that the player will travel to Germany in the next few hours for a medical examination and, barring any last-minute surprises, will become a new member of Leverkusen. This will be the third professional team in Lucas' career after debuting at Espanyol and becoming a versatile and trusted player at Real Madrid, where he played in over 350 official matches.

The German club is starting a new cycle after Xabi Alonso's departure to Real Madrid. To fill that gap, the management opted for Ten Hag, a coach with a clear philosophy of high pressure and offensive play. In this context, Lucas Vázquez’s arrival can be crucial: he brings experience, work ethic, and versatility, as he can perform both as a right-back and in more advanced positions.

Lucas Vázquez close to finalizing his signing with Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer started the Bundesliga with a 1-2 defeat against Hoffenheim, a stumble that requires a quick response if they want to remain among the favorites. Among their recent reinforcements are French center-back Loïc Badé, who arrives from Sevilla, and Christian Kofane, a young forward who shined in the last season in the Liga SmartBank with Albacete. Now, with the addition of the Spanish international, Ten Hag adds a profile that fits perfectly into the style he aims to impose.

For Lucas, this signing represents an exciting challenge: he will stay at the top competitive level, have the opportunity to showcase his experience in a demanding league, and also be able to compete in the next edition of the Champions League, whose draw will take place this Thursday. Everything indicates that within hours Leverkusen will formalize his signing, confirming one of the most striking operations of the market.

The Galician embarks on a new adventure in Germany with the enthusiasm to continue proving that he still has a lot of football to offer. Bayer Leverkusen adds experience, competitiveness, and leadership, qualities that Lucas Vázquez has demonstrated throughout his career and will now aim to bring to the BayArena.
