Real Madrid Winger May Remain In Zinedine Zidane’s Roster Despite Transfer Rumors

The role of Lucas Vazquez may not include much playing time compared to the starting eleven, but his attitude and work ethic has been noteworthy enough to keep him on the roster. Despite the possibility of a transfer, Vazquez has been a worthy player to keep in Zinedine Zidane’s lineup.

The services of Vazquez may not be as clamored over the other Real Madrid stars, but he makes up for it with a proper mindset on and off the field. The professionalism and willingness to learn and grow have been one of the main reasons Zidane remains interested in the 29-year-old, per Fansided’s The Real Champs.

The winger has been with Real Madrid since 2007 as a member of the academy. Throughout 206 appearances with the first team, he’s tallied 24 goals and notched 46 assists. While he’s only had 18 appearances in the latest La Liga campaign and played only four times in the Champions League, he’s ready for any role he’s asked to do.

The current market value of Vazquez is estimated to be at around 16 million Euros. Teams such as Napoli have gained interest in the three-time Champions League winner. While nothing has been finalized yet, the manner of how Vazquez is prepared for any responsibility given to him proves to be an asset for any team to have.

In addition to this, Vazquez's skills on the pitch can provide the necessary energy for the club, as he’s known to be a skilled passer with his crosses and through balls. With a pass success rate of 83.3%, he works as a spark on the offensive end of the team.

The growth and development of the players in Real Madrid are important and having rising stars such as Martin Odegaard's return to the roster is crucial for Los Blancos. A professional presence such as Vazquez in the locker room may help these younger players as a proper example. With the versatility of a rotational player, Vazquez has proven his significance with the team.

A lot is expected for Zidane’s lineup as he’s already tallied 11 championships for the Santiago Bernabeu-based squad. It will be interesting to see how the club manages their roster and if they will keep the crafty Vazquez onboard.
