“Now I am looking forward to continuing my career at Bayer Leverkusen,” said Vazquez. “I have heard a lot about the club of Xabi Alonso and my long -standing teammate Dani Carvajal in Madrid.
“My discussions with management confirmed what I was told: Bayer 04 are absolutely focused on winning, are hungry and they strive for the biggest goals.
