Lucas Vazquez Opens Door to Real Madrid Summer Exit But Insists He Would Prefer to Stay

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vázquez insists that wants to stay at the Santiago Bernabéu next season but claims that the final decision over his future could be out of his hands.

"We will see. Nobody knows. We will have to see," Vázquez told Radio Gaceta (via Marca). "For sure I want to stay at Real Madrid. I have a contract until 2021."

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has been heavily linked with a move Real Madrid and Vázquez has welcomed the idea of the Belgian's arrival.

Vázquez also talked up the possibility of bringing Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba to the Santiago Bernabéu at the end of the season, as the Frenchman continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford.

"Every year there is talk whether this player is coming or another, it is normal," he added. "The best players have to come to Madrid and Hazard is one of them.

"I think that Pogba would be an interesting signing."

Real Madrid have just seven games left this season before they can look towards rebuilding this summer, including a crucial match against fourth-place Getafe at the end of the month.
