Vázquez’s Career Trajectory and Club History

Throughout the transfer window, Vázquez attracted interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and was also approached by Deportivo La Coruña. However, he has opted for Bayer Leverkusen, which will become the third club of his professional career. Previously, his only experience away from Madrid came during a loan spell at Espanyol in the 2014/15 campaign.

Farewell to Real Madrid and Trophy Haul

Back in July, Real Madrid announced that Vázquez would depart the club this summer after a decade with the first team. “Los Blancos” paid tribute to Vázquez by organising a special farewell ceremony, celebrating his contribution as one of their standout players. During his stint at the Bernabéu, he amassed a total of 23 trophies.
