According to Turkish media, the Portuguese manager wants to use the Spaniard as a right-back, after a deal for Kyle Walker fell through, with the Englishman opting to continue his career at Everton.
During the 2024/25 season, Vazquez made 51 appearances, many of them as a starter and in various positions, scoring two goals and providing eight assists. However, the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, who will compete with Carvajal, removes him from the squad plans for next season. In addition, his contract is expiring and it appears he will not receive an extension offer, meaning he will leave Santiago Bernabeu in search of a new challenge.
Vazquez came on as a substitute in the 65th minute of Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal last night, replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold at right back.
