A departing member of the defensive ranks at Real Madrid is drawing interest by way of La Liga rivals Espanyol ahead of the summer.
That’s according to **[Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/espanyol/2025/06/02/lucas-vazquez-opcion-espanyol.html)**, citing Diario Sport, who point towards Lucas Vázquez as the player in question.
Versatile right-back Vázquez is of course set to bring his career-long stint on the books of Real Madrid to a definitive close over the coming weeks.
The 33-year-old will see his terms in Spain’s capital come to a close on June 30th, with the Blancos brass having long made the call not to offer Vázquez a renewal.
If the latest word stemming from the media early this week is anything to go by, though, then the Spanish international will not have a hard time finding a new club.
As per Marca, joining clubs from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and MLS in the Vázquez sweepstakes are La Liga outfit Espanyol.
The experienced campaigner spent the 2014/15 season on loan at the RCDE Stadium, with the Espanyol brass taking into serious consideration a reunion bid this summer.
It now remains to be seen if Vázquez himself is interested in such a move.
