"Vazquez exemplarily represents the values of Real Madrid, which has made him one of the most beloved players by our fans," said Madrid president Florentino Perez in a statement.
"(He) symbolises the hard work, perseverance, humility, and winning spirit essential to succeed in this shirt."
Originally a winger, the 34-year-old won 23 trophies at the club including five Champions Leagues and four La Liga titles, largely as a squad player.
"I leave Real Madrid but Real Madrid will never leave me," said Vazquez in a goodbye video.
The Spaniard came through the Madrid youth system and spent his whole career at the club, with the exception of a loan to Espanyol in the 2014-15 season, playing 402 times across all competitions for Los Blancos.

Valencia table offer for Barcelona star
Barcelona this week received a transfer offer on the part of La Liga rivals Valencia for a member of the club's attacking ranks. The player in question? Pau Víctor. Frontman Víctor has of course seen his future in Catalunya's capital thrown ever further over the course of the last 24 hours. This comes after Barcelona closed an agreement with Manchester United over the signing of Marcus Rashford. Víctor, already considered as on the exit ramp at the Camp Nou, has therefore been pushed ever closer to a departure. Those of a Blaugrana persuasion will therefore no doubt be interested to learn that their side actually rejected an approach for the 23-year-old just this week. As per a report from , during a meeting a couple of days ago: 'Valencia put on the table a loan proposal accepting different penalty clauses in case the striker did not accumulate minutes in the First Division.' Barcelona chief Deco, however, made clear that the club are only open to a permanent sale at present. Conor Laird – GSFN
