Former Real Madrid star in talks over Deportivo switch

Former Real Madrid star Lucas Vázquez is in active negotiations regarding a potential switch to Deportivo La Coruña before the transfer window closes. Deportivo is reportedly making every effort to secure the versatile full-back's signature despite the associated costs. Vázquez, who spent the last 12 months at Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, had a frustrating debut season due to various fitness issues.

There are reports suggesting that Deportivo may be granted an early release from his contract if a suitable offer is made for his services. The 35-year-old, a native of the A Coruña region, could be enticed by the prospect of returning to his roots as he approaches the later stages of a successful career.
