# Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs suffer blow in Lucas Vazquez pursuit

**According to reports from Spain, Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a major blow to their hopes of landing Lucas Vazquez this summer, with Bayern Munich now leading the race for the winger.**

Despite having impressed over his 22 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid this season – with the 29-year-old averaging a [SofaScore match rating of 7.24](https://www.sofascore.com/player/lucas-vazquez/255239), as well as [Zinedine Zidane claiming](https://www.archyde.com/zidane-praises-vazquez-not-only-do-i-like-it-we-all-like-it/) that the winger is a “reliable” part of his team – Vazquez’s contract at the Santiago Bernabeu runs out this summer, and the player has rejected a new offer from the club, so everything appears to point towards the winger’s departure at the end of the season.

As a result, Sport (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-picture-signing-potential-free-agent-spurs-behind-euro-giants-transfer-chase/)) claimed that Tottenham are keen on a move for the [£58,000-per-week](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-picture-signing-potential-free-agent-spurs-behind-euro-giants-transfer-chase/) Spain international this summer, with Mourinho’s side said to be willing to offer the player an improvement on his current salary with Los Blancos, in addition to a hefty signing-on fee.

However, the report continues by suggesting that Spurs have now [fallen behind Bayern Munich](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-picture-signing-potential-free-agent-spurs-behind-euro-giants-transfer-chase/) in the race for Vazquez, as the Bundesliga side are ready to propose the winger a four-year deal.

### Transfer Tavern Take

The news of Bayern’s interest in Vazquez will undoubtedly come as a huge blow to Mourinho and his side, as the prospect of battling the reigning German and European champions for the winger – with Spurs currently being unable to even guarantee the winger Champions League football if he were to join them – would appear to be a very hard sell indeed.
