Ancelotti believes Lucas Vázquez has earned the right to negotiate his extension
The Galician full-back was not only the hero of the evening in Mendizorroza, he also did a very good job replacing Dani Carvajal.

For these reasons, the Italian coach believes the player has earned the right to negotiate his contract extension.
Vázquez currently has a contract with Madrid until 2024, but those around him have not received any calls from José Ángel Sánchez, let alone Florentino Pérez. The player’s intention is to remain dressed in white. For this reason, he is willing to make sacrifices to maintain his presence in the current Copa del Rey champions.
The departure of Nacho Fernández is the key to the renewal of Lucas Vázquez
