Real Madrid Transfer News: Lewis-Skelly Rejects Move, Vazquez to Fenerbahce, Rodrygo Decision
Off the pitch, the club faces fresh developments in the transfer market. Here’s a look at the top Real Madrid transfer news for June 19, 2025.
❌ Myles Lewis-Skelly Snubs Real Madrid, Set to Stay at Arsenal
According to Fabrizio Romano, Myles Lewis-Skelly has reached an agreement to extend his stay at Arsenal, dealing a blow to Real Madrid’s hopes of signing the 18-year-old for free in 2026.
Los Blancos had been eyeing the in-form English left-back, whose current contract runs out next summer. Their strategy of securing players nearing free agency—like they’ve done with other recent signings—appeared set for another success.
However, the Gunners have now made a breakthrough in contract negotiations, and Lewis-Skelly is expected to sign a new long-term deal in the coming days, showing no desire to leave the Emirates despite Madrid’s interest.
🇪🇸 Fenerbahce Interested in Lucas Vazquez
As per Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Fenerbahce are targeting Lucas Vazquez, whose contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of June. The 33-year-old veteran is expected to leave the club as a free agent after the FIFA Club World Cup.
Fenerbahce are reportedly keen to bring Vazquez to Turkey, where he could link up with manager Jose Mourinho for the first time. Vazquez, who has made over 400 appearances for Los Blancos, is also attracting interest from MLS and Saudi Pro League clubs.
For now, he remains a short-term asset for Madrid until their Club World Cup campaign concludes.
🇧🇷 Rodrygo Not Looking to Leave Real Madrid
Rodrygo Goes remains committed to his future at Santiago Bernabeu, despite growing speculation linking him to a summer exit. Arsenal are rumored to be interested, with Mikel Arteta reportedly viewing the Brazilian as a key attacking reinforcement.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, no formal talks have been initiated between Arsenal and Real Madrid. Importantly, a transfer will only be considered if Rodrygo himself asks to leave—something he has shown no intention of doing.
With Kylian Mbappe’s arrival limiting his minutes, Rodrygo’s future had appeared uncertain, but the 24-year-old is determined to fight for his place under Xabi Alonso.
🔍 Final Thoughts
Real Madrid’s summer is heating up with contract complications, exit rumors, and interest from abroad. As things stand:
-
Lewis-Skelly is staying in London.
-
Vazquez could be set for a reunion with Mourinho.
-
Rodrygo is loyal—for now.
Stay tuned as Los Blancos continue reshaping their squad ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
