Turkish club enquire about exit-bound Real Madrid veteran – report
Along with Luka Modric, Lucas Vazquez is one of two Real Madrid veterans who are set to leave the club this summer.
Vazquez’s contract at Real Madrid expires at the end of June 30, but the club have secured a short-term extension so that the veteran can play out the entirety of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Vazquez has had no shortage of suitors either, with multiple clubs lining up to try and sign the veteran on a free transfer this summer.
Fenerbahce join race to sign Lucas Vazquez
According to prominent Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Fenerbahce have become the latest club to join the race to sign Vazquez.
As per the journalist, the Turkish giants, managed by Jose Mourinho, have enquired about the availability of Vazquez.
The club are eyeing a Bosman move for the veteran Spaniard, who has interestingly never worked with the Portuguese tactician.
Lucas was playing for Real Madrid’s youth teams during Mourinho’s stint as Real Madrid coach between 2010 and 2013.
Mourinho, of course, may have had some idea about Lucas as a promising young talent back then. Now, though, he has built quite the legacy for himself, with a total of 400 appearances for the club.
Mourinho is well aware of the versatility and experience Vazquez can offer to the table at Fenerbahce and is, therefore, keen on acquiring his services this summer.
During his time in charge of the Turkish outfit, Mourinho has already convinced many big name stars to come to Fenerbahce including Allan Saint-Maximin, Sofyan Amrabat and Youssef En Nesyri.
There is no reason why Lucas Vazquez can’t become the next big signing for Fenerbahce, although it will be interesting to see whether or not the Spaniard gets tempted by offers from elsewhere, including the MLS and the Saudi league.

Kylian Mbappe has been named Real Madrid Player of the Month for August after an impressive start to the 2026/27 season.

Mbappe opened his goalscoring account for the season in Real Madrid’s second game of the season against Real Sociedad, plundering a hat-trick in a 4-1 win.
The France captain was on target again in the next game, scoring in a 4-0 win over newly-promoted La Liga side, Malaga.

Mbappe happy with positive start
After receiving the award at the training facilities earlier today, Mbappe spoke to RMTV, talking positively about the team’s start to the campaign and outlined his ambitions for the months ahead.
“We’ve started the season positively. I hope we can continue like this on Saturday. I think there can be a lot of success this season,” he said.
The Real Madrid forward is determined to play his part as the team pursue trophies on multiple fronts.
“I’m really looking forward to helping the team and showing that we can do great things this year. I’m always happy to play here. I know it’s a privilege,” he noted.
Welcoming the new arrivals
Mbappe also discussed the new faces who have joined the squad, stressing the importance of ensuring everyone settles quickly into the team.
After all, Real Madrid have made as many as six new additions in Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Carlos Espi, Denzel Dumfries, and Yan Diomande.
“It’s always good to see new faces. They come wanting to help the badge and Real Madrid. We’ve tried to make sure everyone adapts in the best possible way so that we can all move in the same direction,” he stated.
With the squad continuing to improve, Mbappe believes unity will be crucial as Real Madrid aim for a successful season.
The France captain’s four goals in August, coupled with his strike against Inter Milan earlier this week, have provided an early indication of his importance to the side as Real Madrid look to bring trophies back at the Bernabeu.
