Madrid - Saba:
Real Madrid announced on Friday the departure of defender Jesús Vallejo following the expiration of his contract with the club at the end of the current 2024-2025 season.
In a statement published on its official website, the Royal Club said: "Real Madrid CF announces the end of Jesús Vallejo's journey at Real Madrid."
The statement added: "Real Madrid extends its gratitude to Jesús Vallejo for his professionalism, dedication, and hard work, and wishes him and his family all the best in this new chapter of his life."
Vallejo, 28, joined Real Madrid from Zaragoza in 2015 but only played for Los Blancos in five seasons, making 35 appearances and scoring one goal.
During his time at the club, Vallejo was loaned out five times—to Zaragoza, Eintracht Frankfurt, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Granada (twice).
With Real Madrid, Vallejo won the UEFA Champions League twice, the FIFA Club World Cup four times, the UEFA Super Cup three times, and the Spanish Super Cup twice, in addition to one La Liga title and one Copa del Rey.
On the international stage, Vallejo won a silver medal with the Spanish Olympic team at the 2020 Tokyo Games and claimed the UEFA European Under-21 and Under-19 Championships.
Vallejo has not yet revealed his next destination.
