PA Media/dpa London Lucas Vazquez has announced he is leaving Real Madrid. The 34-year-old right-sided player has spent almost his entire career at Real, having joined the club's academy at the age of 16. Following a loan spell with Espanyol, Vazquez made his Real debut in September 2015 and has gone on to make 402 appearances for the club over 10 seasons, winning 23 trophies, including five Champions League titles and four La Liga crowns. Vazquez's final outing came as a substitute during their 4-0 Club World Cup defeat to Paris SaintGermain earlier this month and he revealed on Wednesday he will be leaving the club. 'Dear Madristas, it's been nearly two decades since I arrived at Valdebebas as a 16-year-old full of dreams and excitement to wear this shirt,' he said in a post on Instagram. 'Every step along the way has been a gift and over time, Madrid became my home. We've lived unforgettable nights together, celebrated 23 titles and created memories that will stay with me forever. 'From the bottom of my heart thank you to the president, the board, the staff, my coaches, my team-mates and above all to the fans. You pushed me to always give that little bit more. 'Today, after more than 400 matches, it's time to say goodbye to the club of my life. But I leave with peace of mind knowing I gave it my all.' Real said farewell ceremony will be held for Vazquez on July 17. President Florentino Perez said: 'Lucas Vazquez represents in an exemplary way the values of Real Madrid, which has made him one of the most loved players by our fans. 'The figure of Lucas Vazquez symbolizes the hard work, perseverance, humility, and winning spirit that are essential for success in this shirt. 'He is a player who has the affection and recognition of all Madridistas. Real Madrid is and always will be his home.'
