Lucas Vázquez’s impending exit from Real Madrid after 18 years is sparking interest from José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe. The Turkish club is eyeing the Spanish winger, who’s set to become a free agent this summer. Vázquez is currently with Real Madrid at the Club World Cup, playing his final games for the team.
Mourinho wants Vázquez to fill the right-back spot, a position complicated by the Manchester City’s Kyle Walker having another year on his contract. Vázquez played 51 games in the 2024/25 season, scoring twice and assisting eight times, but his chances have dwindled with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s arrival from Liverpool, adding to the competition with Dani Carvajal.
Fenerbahçe’s Recruitment Drive
Vázquez’s versatility is a significant asset. He has played in various roles, showcasing his adaptability. Fenerbahçe is looking to strengthen its squad, and Vázquez’s experience could be a valuable addition. The club’s pursuit of Vázquez is part of a broader recruitment strategy under Mourinho.
The Turkish media outlet Sports Digitale reports on Fenerbahçe’s interest in Vázquez, highlighting the potential for a significant signing this summer. As Vázquez’s Real Madrid tenure comes to an end, his next move is generating considerable interest.
