Real Madrid bid farewell to the third player: Vallejo s ten-year white-clothed career comes to an end

Following Modric and Lucas Vazquez, Spanish defender Jesus Vallejo officially ended his contract with Real Madrid, becoming the third player to leave the club this summer.

Real Madrid official acknowledge: Thank you for your ten years of hard work

Real Madrid issued a statement through its official website to confirm that Vallejo officially left the team after the expiration of the contract: "Real Madrid announced that Jessus Vallejo ended his career at the club. In the past five seasons, he has won 2 Champions League championships, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 1 La Liga championship, 1 King's Cup and 2 Spanish Super Cups."

In addition, Real Madrid also specifically mentioned that he is in the country Team-level results: "While representing the Spanish Olympic team, he won the Tokyo Olympic silver medal and won the European championship with the U21 and U19 national teams." Finally, the club expressed his gratitude to Vallejo: "We thank him for his professionalism and dedication, and wish him all the best in the new chapter of his career."

introduced from 5 million euros to marginal player

Vallejo joined Real Madrid from Real Zaragoza in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee of 5 million euros. At the age of 18, he was regarded as a potential new star, carrying high hopes of becoming the future pillar of Real Madrid's defense line.

However, in Real Madrid's nearly ten years of career, Vallejo has never won the long-term trust of the coaching staff. He has been loaned out to teams such as Frankfurt, Wolves and Granada for training many times, but has never truly gained a foothold in the first team of the Bernabeu.

Even though at the end of the 2024/25 season, Vallejo had briefly returned to the rotation lineup due to the shortage of defensive staff, he only started in La Liga once throughout the season.

The regret ended, opening a new chapter

Although people failed to realize the initial expectations of him, Vallejo still won several honors with Real Madrid. Now with the expiration of the contract, the Spanish defender will start his free career. Although Real Madrid has long wanted to "clean" him, his next stop is still unclear due to the lack of interest from other teams.
