A farewell ceremony is set to take place in the coming days as the versatile right-back – who has spent 18 years at the Bernabéu - bids goodbye to Los Blancos.

Vázquez first joined the club's youth setup in 2007, aged just 16, and made his senior debut in 2015 after a brief loan spell with Espanyol. Since then, the Galician has been a reliable and consistent squad player for Madrid across a decade of service.
In total, he made 402 appearances, scoring 38 goals and providing 73 assists. While often operating under the radar, particularly in later seasons where he featured mainly from the bench, Vázquez earned the respect of teammates and fans alike with his professionalism, work rate and adaptability.
His honours list speaks for itself: 23 major trophies, including five Champions League titles, five Club World Cups, four UEFA Super Cups, four La Liga titles, a Copa del Rey, and four Spanish Super Cups.

Donnarumma demands an obstacle for Serie A return as Manchester City and Bayern circle
The contract of Gianluigi Donnarumma at PSG is due to expire next summer and a number of top clubs are eager to sign the goalkeeper but reports in Italy claim that his wage demands may prove too big a barrier for the 26-year-old to return to Serie A. Donnarumma, hot off the back of a 2024-25 season that saw him help PSG lift the Champions League trophy, has just ten months left on his currently deal with the Ligue 1 champions and appears to be as likely to leave as he is to stay. Reports from Tuttosport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, suggest that Bayern Munich and Manchester City are among the top teams coveting Donnarumma's signature but that any Italian team could face the obstacle of the goalkeeper's wage demands. PSG prepare lower wage for Donnarumma as top clubs prepared to offer more The reports suggest that PSG are not prepared to offer Donnarumma the same €12 million per season that he currently earns as a part of his contract. Instead, it is being suggested that the Parisian side will offer €8-9 million base salary with the other €3-4 million tied to individual and club performance objectives. In much the same way that the Ligue 1 side are not willing to give the Italian the base €12 million per season, most Serie A clubs will also struggle to meet this figure. Which is why, as per the reports, big clubs in the rest of Europe are currently leading the race.

Real Madrid SET star's valuation ahead of possible Liverpool deal
Real Madrid and Liverpool can't escape one another. The pair of clubs are constantly moving in similar directions, usually for transfer targets. LFC Retro Shirts Buy Now LFC Kits Buy Now LFC Nike Training Buy Now Half of Real Madrid's team were firm targets for Liverpool at one stage or another. Unfortunately, players pick Los Blancos over pretty much anyone these days. And, of course, we saw a direct transfer between the two clubs this year. Trent Alexander-Arnold moved from Liverpool to Real Madrid, costing around £10m for the final year of his contract. In truth, that was a fantastic deal by Liverpool, even if they never wanted to lose Alexander-Arnold. £10m for essentially nothing. But there are more deals to come. Liverpool like Rodrygo, for instance, as a replacement for Luis Diaz if the Colombian leaves this summer. And that's not the only deal. There could yet be a second transfer from Anfield to Madrid. Real Marid set Ibrahima Konate valuation Mundo Deportivo claims Real Madrid value Ibrahima Konate at €30m. That's comfortably below Liverpool's own valuation of around €50m. We can pretty confidently say that Real Madrid will not make a deal happen at €30m. Liverpool would much rather get a year out of Konate and hold onto the chance of renewing his contract than sell for that. For what it's worth, the report suggests Los Blancos aren't looking to sign another centre-back this summer. However, an initial valuation getting set is usually the first step towards deciding that actually, signing a new defender makes sense.

Bundesliga defensive star offers himself to Real Madrid to solve defensive issue
Real Madrid are going through massive changes under Xabi Alonso, and interestingly, they aren't done yet. Los Blancos have dedicated the transfer window to fixing their defence, and the job isn't done as they are planning to bring more reinforcements following the Club World Cup. Following the Club World Cup debacle, Alonso has realised that Los Blancos need more defensive reinforcements. Therefore, a recent report via Rodra from ESPN suggests that Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie has offered himself to Real Madrid as they continue to assess their defensive options. The centre-back position is an area of concern for Alonso and his coaching staff as they lack depth despite signing Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth this summer. Real Madrid suffered from a lot of injuries last season, and David Alaba is yet to recover from his knee injury, and there are doubts over his contribution this season. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp On the other hand, Eder Militao is in rehabilitation after suffering two consecutive ligament injuries, while he is close to getting fit, his on-field performances leave a big question mark. So Hincapie could be a great option for Real Madrid and considering his dynamics with Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen enhances his chances of making the move. How much could Hincapie cost Real Madrid? Hincapie was a big part of Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen side that won the Bundesliga undefeated. getty image The Ecuadorian has been one of the most highly-rated defenders in the Bundesliga over the last few years, and he feels it is time for him to take the next step in his career. Hincapie's current contract with Leverkusen runs until 2029, but his contract includes a €60m ($70m) release clause. The 23-year-old defender, who is predominantly a centre-back and can also slot in as a left-back with aplomb, could be a perfect fit in Alonso's system. Real Madrid at this point only have Antonio Rudiger, Huijsen and Raul Asencio are the only fit centre-backs available, and they desperately need at least another defender. Real Madrid will now closely monitor the Ecuadorian's situation at Bayer Leverkusen as the defender is open to a move to a big European club this summer.
