- Vazquez a free agent after Madrid contract expiry
- Spaniard yet to sign for a new club
- Hasn’t shut down move to Saudi Arabia
It’s been over a month since Vazquez last played a game for ريال مدريد, after which he hit free agency as his contract with the Spanish side expired. He has since been in the news, linked with multiple teams, both in إسبانيا and overseas. However, the Spaniard has yet to join a new club. While speaking about his future, Vazquez hinted that he could potentially join the الدوري السعودي للمحترفين, which means a reunion with ex-Madrid team-mate رونالدو could well be on the cards.
Vazquez was promoted to the Real Madrid first-team ahead of the 2015-16 season, after a one-year loan spell at إسبانيول. He was among the finest players for Castilla, and shone even brighter at Espanyol. Upon his return, he was immediately involved in the historic دوري أبطال أوروبا threepeat, becoming the unofficial 12th man under Zinedine Zidane. He spent three seasons as team-mates with Ronaldo, who left for يوفنتوس in 2018. The duo could now reunite in Saudi Arabia, with CR7 already plying his trade at Al-Nassr.
Speaking to Arabic outlet EremNews Vazquez said: “I haven’t decided my next destination yet.”
When asked if he would consider a move to the Middle East, the 34-year-old replied: “I don’t know, anything’s possible.”
The right-back has been courted by فنربخشة, although it seems he isn’t tempted by a move to Turkey. Espanyol, his former team, are also interested in bringing him back, although it appears that he doesn’t want to play in Spain out of respect for Los Blancos. Moreover, he has received offers from Qatar, الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز, as well as إيطاليا, with Juventus seemingly eyeing Vazquez on a free transfer. With less than two weeks before the transfer window deadline, it is expected that Vazquez’s new club will be made official soon.
