Real Madrid Transfer News: Garcia, Vinicius Jr, Lunin, Rodrygo & More - July 16, 2025

Real Madrid has officially announced the departure of midfielder Lucas Vázquez, with a farewell ceremony scheduled for July 17.

The club has set a transfer fee of €20 million for left-back Fran Garcia. AC Milan is rumored to be interested, and Real Madrid is reportedly willing to sell either Garcia or Ferland Mendy, with Garcia offering higher potential return.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is reportedly exploring an ambitious move to sign Real Madrid forwards Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, aiming to strengthen Barcelona while weakening their rivals. However, this move is considered unlikely due to Barcelona's financial constraints.

Villarreal has enquired about signing Real Madrid's second-choice goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who has some Champions League experience. Real Madrid is reportedly reluctant to sell the player.

Liverpool has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Rodrygo, with manager Arne Slot described as a massive fan who has made the 24-year-old his top target. This interest comes as Liverpool anticipates the departure of Luis Diaz, creating a need for a left-sided player.
