Real Madrid sign Lucas Vazquez
Lucas Vazquez rejoined Madrid this season
Spaniard is Benitez's first signing for Real Madrid
Real Madrid have bought back Lucas Vazquez from Espanyol. The 24-year-old is a product of 'La Fabrica'-the youth academy of Real Madrid.
The winger was offloaded to the Catalans last season in a buy-back deal that would bring him back to Madrid after a good season.
Vazquez signed at a cost of 1 million euros for a five-year deal. Real Madrid stated,"Real Madrid C.F. has exercised their buy-back contract rights over Lucas Vazquez in the existing agreement with RCD Espanyol. The player will remain linked to our club for the next five seasons".
Vazquez joined Madrid at the age of 15 but was out of favour when Ancelotti stepped in. He joined Espanyol last season and had a spectacular season forcing Benitez to re-sign him.
Vazquez is a defensive winger who can adapt to Benitez's style. He is got a really good pace and skills and works extremely hard during the match. He retains the ball well and provides a support to the backline. Moreover, he is a product of La Fabrica and knows the team well.
Lucas has all the qualities of a defender and do step-over-rolls and elasticos. He has a reasonably good ability in clearing air balls and has scored three goals last term.
However, he must compete with world's best players for a place in the first team.

Five best signings Real Madrid can do this summer
With the transfer window at grabs, We take a look at five best signings for Rafa Benitez
Ramos may leave this summer and the most suitable replacement is an Argentine.
The transfer window is wide open and its full of cash and competition now to bring world's finest footballers to their respective clubs. And a team like Real Madrid are never bad during these days and they look to bring the world's best to the city.
The last decade saw the likes of Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo Nazario de Lima, David Beckham and Roberto Carlos all play in the Whites' shirt. The new generation is enjoying Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Kaka, Ozil and Toni Kroos.
Meanwhile, this summer is more special in case Sergio Ramos leaves. So, Rafa Benitez must buy some of the below to fix the team.
BERND LENO
A good replacement and a competitor for club icon Casillas. David De Gea was the favourite but Manchester United recently said 'No' to a Spanish journalist. Since Madrid said it would go with 'Plan B' and Leno has been their target.
Bernd Leno is a better replacement De Gea because too many high-profile players in a single team affects the morality. On the other hand, Leno is quite a good boy at the dressing room and he has got great reflexes.
The only thing that could prevent him from transferring to Madrid is his fame. This guy is highly underrated. He is actually the second best in Bundesliga. Some of his memorable performances this season are against Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munchen.
It is also good to watch and analyse player before buying him. So here you go:
DAVID DE GEA
David De Gea (called David De Heeyae) is the ultimate transfer target this season. The Spaniard had turned into world's best under LVG and is set to leave this summer. However, he has refused to extend his contract that runs out next season. If he becomes a free agent, then Real Madrid will have him.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have come up with a deal that would see a swap between Ramos and De Gea. But the deal is largely refused and United's all offers are rebuffed until an offer of around 65 million pound sterling is made.
The Red Army has also warned that if they are told to pay big on Ramos, then De Gea will be sold as world's highest-paid goalkeeper.
De Gea had his best season in 2014-2015 and he is the key to United's top four finish. His ability in shot stopping, handling and reflexes has made him one of world's current best. The most memorable performance was against four English giants: Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton.

AYMERIC LAPORTE
The young French is so underrated but is linked with Manchester United. He isn't under Perez's radar but this 21-year-old would be one for the future.
Though Athletic Bilbao fell out this season, this guy was still remarkable. He had a spectacular time against Real Madrid last couple of seasons and is a good replacement for Ramos if the Spaniard leaves.
He is well-loved by San Memes and is famous for his heading skills. Laporte has an impressive heading record and an excellent tackling ability. He is also a good last-man and surely his move to United will only make them better.
But the only thing he gets differenciated from Ramos is that he lacks the leadership skills the Spaniard possess. And since he isn't under Real's sight, it would be highly unlikely to see him at Santiago Bernabeau next season.
But if I was given Perez duty, then I would have made the deal just because of his skills and moreover, age. Aymeric Laporte:
NICOLAS OTAMENDI
'The Wall With A Beard'. Surely, the best defender this season in La Liga. Otamendi has grown big this season and is responsible for Valencia's progress to Champions League after two long years.
The defender is Manchester United's-who wants all the players in the world-top target. He also tops Real Madrid's centre-back wishlist if Ramos leaves.
Talking of him, Otamendi has displayed beautiful football with Valencia and grabbed up six MOTM awards, the highest for any defender in La Liga this season. He is also excellent when it comes to defending and wins most of the aerial duels like Ramos.
His sliding tackles are clueless and it is impossible to get rid of them. And he is famous for shutting down the two leaders of football: Ronaldo and Messi. The other cannibals in his list include Neymar, Suarez, Bale and Benzema. This guy is also chosen as La Liga Best Defender of the Season by WhoScored.com.
Nicolas Otamendi has good feat in delivering long balls, something that Ramos lack. He is a good leader like the Spaniard and the most memorable performance was with the two best teams in the world: FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF.
He scores goals and that shows his goodness in attack. And moreover, he scored 6 goals this season compared to Ramos 4 and five of them with headers from corners and free-kicks and one with a low shot.
And who else would forget his header against Madrid in Mestalla after he leaped higher than Ramos to end the 22-game-winning streak. Above all, the beard. It is something more feary than a verbal talk.
Definetely, this guy is the most suitable replacement for Sergio Ramos. If you search on Youtube, you will get lots on him. Some of his best performances are:

SERGIO "KUN" AGUERO
The deal of the year. Real Madrid will make an another historic move by completing the signing of Manchester City and Argentine striker Sergio Aguero. The deal would be their highest this year.
But it would cost around 90 million euros for the Argentine to bring him to Spain next season. However, Perez is famous for big money moves with six of world's ten top transfers under his name. This include Bale, Ronaldo and James who conquer the top-three respectively alongwith Zidane, Kaka and Luis Figo.
Aguero's return to Madrid after he left Atleti to join the BPL giants would make him the third highest paid player in the team. Meanwhile, Aguero is a must wanted deal to replace Benzema who was poor last season and is on his way to Arsenal this summer.
And Aguero with Ronaldo and Bale would be amazing to watch and they could bring back their EPL stunners to Spain.
Statistically, Aguero is the top scorer in Premier League and has turned into a lethal striker last season. His 22 goals for city for City has helped them to finish second in the league behind Chelsea. He has a better finishing skill than Benzema and reads the game well.
The Argentine is compared to Luis Suarez and his importance in Madrid right now will motivate his move. Moreover, the fans want him but at present, Aguero is in Chile playing with Argentina who are through to the finals and face the hosts this Saturday. Some of his best clips are:
