Lucas Vazquez has rejected the first renewed contract offer from Real Madrid with his current deal set to expire this summer, according to a report in Marca.
The utility player is one of three first-team stars out of contract in the Spanish capital alongside club captain Sergio Ramos and midfield maestro Luka Modric.
Real Madrid news recently has seen the team record seven victories – and one draw – from eight matches in all competitions and that trio have all been influential in that run by being regular starters.
Earlier this season, Vazquez – primarily a wide midfielder – played eight successive matches in the right-back position due to an injury crisis and impressing with his tactical discipline and work-rate down the wing.
He has since been deployed as part of a front three in a wide position, ahead of the likes of Rodrygo Goes, Vinicius Junior, Marco Asensio and Isco.
The player has transformed his fortunes at the club this season and is now a key member not just of the squad but of the starting line-up.
