Real Madrid have decided on their right-backs for next season

As per a report by MARCA, Real Madrid have made a decision regarding their right-backs for the upcoming season. They have chosen Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez for the role.

The club believes Vazquez is the most suitable backup for Carvajal, indicating that they probably won’t pursue another right-back during the summer transfer window.

It is to be noted that Vazquez’s current contract with Real Madrid runs out at the end of the season and while there is nothing official yet, he is likely to receive an extension sooner rather than later.

This season, Vazquez has been keen to show that Real Madrid doesn’t need to make big changes on the right side of defence just yet.

Carvajal has bounced back to his top form after recovering from injuries, and Vazquez keeps on performing well, just like in his previous seasons.

The right-back has reportedly made it clear he wants to stick with Real Madrid, and talks with the club about his contract are going smoothly.

While there is no set date for when the renewal will be finalized, it seems promising because both sides want the same thing. The club is happy with how Vazquez is playing and sees him as the perfect deputy for Carvajal.

Given everything at play, Vazquez has three main goals in his sights this season, namely securing victory in the Champions League, sealing his contract renewal, and aiming for a place in the Euro Cup.

Throughout this season, he has participated in 35 matches, with 27 in La Liga and eight in the Champions League.

In these games, he managed to score two goals and provide six assists, statistics that bolster his hopes of making it into Luis de la Fuente’s selection. As a Madrid full-back, he firmly believes that achieving these aspirations are entirely within reach.

As for Carvajal, his contract’s validity is until 2025 and for now, Real Madrid not putting much into a renewal. Any decision regarding the same is likely to be taken towards the end of the next season.
