Vazquez was promoted to the Real Madrid first-team ahead of the 2015-16 season, after a one-year loan spell at Espanyol. He was among the finest players for Castilla, and shone even brighter at Espanyol. Upon his return, he was immediately involved in the historic Champions League threepeat, becoming the unofficial 12th man under Zinedine Zidane. He spent three seasons as team-mates with Ronaldo, who left for Juventus in 2018. The duo could now reunite in Saudi Arabia, with CR7 already plying his trade at Al-Nassr.

The right-back has been courted by Fenerbahce, 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, Premier League, as well as Italy, 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.
