New Vazquez deal; Ronaldo, Bale next

Real Madrid have announced that winger Lucas Vazquez has signed a new long-term deal with the club which will run to June 2021.

The 25-year-old graduated through Real Madrid's youth system but came to prominence after a successful season-long loan spell at Espanyol in 2014-15 before returning to Los Blancos and becoming an important member of the first-team squad.

"Real Madrid C. F. and Lucas Vazquez have agreed the extension of the player's contract, which sees him linked to the club until June 30, 2021," read an official club statement.

"On Thursday at 1:30pm, Lucas Vazquez will appear before the media in the press room at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium."

The hard-working winger had been reported in the local press as imminently signing a new deal prior to the announcement, with the same reports suggesting that Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale contract extensions would be announced in due course.
