Overview

• Bayer Leverkusen confirmed the former Real Madrid defender has signed a contract until 30 June 2027 after departing as a free agent.
• The switch is his first club move outside Spain following ten seasons with Madrid and an earlier loan at Espanyol.
• Vázquez offers versatility at right-back or on the right wing, complementing options such as Arthur as Ten Hag has also used Jarell Quansah on that flank.
• He brings a trophy-laden record from Madrid, including five Champions League titles, four LaLiga crowns and four Club World Cups.
• Leverkusen moved for Vázquez after missing out on Jonathan Clauss and during a broader squad refresh under their new head coach.
