Out of contract in the summer, the versatile Spaniard is one of several Los Blancos stars with an uncertain future.

Lucas Vazquez is “calm” about his uncertain situation at Real Madrid, hinting that he is likely to sign a contract extension with the club.

A little over a month remains on Vazquez’s current contract with Real Madrid but there is no concrete news yet regarding his renewal.

While not a guaranteed starter, the 29-year-old is an integral part of the Los Blancos team. The Spain international impressed as a makeshift right-back this season in the absence of the injured Dani Carvajal.

Premier League has been touted as the next destination for the La Fabrica graduate, with interest reported from London outfits Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham.

“I’m calm,” stated Vazquez, discussing his future on Movistar Universo Valdano programme.

“Who wouldn’t want to keep playing for the world’s best club? We will know something soon, I can’t imagine my life without football.”

Vazquez added on his transition this season: “I went from being an offensive winger to just a winger.

“Football basically evolved and developed so that every winger played as an inverted winger on opposite flanks and natural wingers like me are hard to find now.

“Until this season I wasn’t comfortable playing as a right-back, it was a strange feeling.”
