    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Vazauez, who rose from Los Blancos' youth setup, spent a short stint at Espanyol when he was loaned out from the Castilla setup in 2014. He spent one season at the Catalan club and recorded four goals and seven assists across 39 games. Now, with his contract concluded at Real, the Pericos are once again trying to fetch his services.

    Vazquez started his career as a right-winger but later had to shift to a more defensive role at Madrid, and he still impressed with his defensive capabilities. Last season, after Dani Carvajal suffered an injury, he led the side's defence and was also wore the captain's armband for much of the season. He left Los Blancos after the recent Club World Cup campaign, sharing an emotional note for the fans.
