Real Madrid defender Lucas Vazquez has assured club president Florentino Perez that he sees himself in the Spanish capital next season.
Within the team, there is a sense of elation after a remarkable week for the club, having defeated Manchester City and Barcelona in the same week.
The outcomes of the two games were outstanding, and the season is looking increasingly promising, with the team closing in on securing the La Liga title and is just three games away from becoming European champions.
Meanwhile, one man who stole the show at Santiago Bernabeu against Barcelona last night was Lucas Vazquez.
Filling in for Dani Carvajal, the full-back excelled for Madrid. He won a penalty, scored a goal, and assisted Bellingham’s goal—an all-around stellar performance.
Interestingly enough, he is the first player to score a goal, assist and win a penalty in El Clasico since Míchel did it in January 1993.
It is to be noted that Vazquez’s contract is set to expire in a few months, but he will likely renew it.
According to sources from Central Defense, he even confirmed his intentions to Perez after last night’s match, stating, “I see myself here next year.”
This news was well-received by the president, especially following the team’s victory over their longstanding rival.
The outlet confirms that Real Madrid are delighted with him, as he is a player who is crucial to the team. Furthermore, trusted sources from Valdebebas agree that his performance against Barcelona was his best this season.
As long as he remains committed, he will continue to wear the Madrid jersey. This is the consensus among the club’s top officials, and it seems likely to hold.
As of today, the belief is that the player would extend his stay for another year, committing his future until 2025.
