Real Madrid has officially confirmed the transfer of their player, Lucas Canizares, to Sporting Clube Farense. The announcement was made through a statement on the club's website and social media platforms.
Canizares, who joined Real Madrid at the age of 12 in January 2014, has progressed through the ranks of the club's youth academy, culminating in a successful stint with Castilla. In 2020, he was part of the Youth League-winning team.
The 22-year-old goalkeeper is now set to embark on a new chapter in his career in the Portuguese top flight, the Primeira Liga, following Farense's promotion for the upcoming 2023/2024 season.
Farense acknowledged Canizares' accomplishments at Real Madrid and highlighted his contributions to Spain's youth teams. The club expressed confidence in Canizares' abilities, citing his agility, reflexes, positioning, and speed as his key strengths.
On his social media, Canizares bid an emotional farewell to Real Madrid, expressing gratitude for the opportunities and development he received at the club. He emphasized the pride and responsibility of representing Real Madrid and expressed his ambition to return in the future.
Canizares' departure from Real Madrid follows a common trajectory seen with other La Fabrica products, such as Dani Carvajal and Fran Garcia, who have ventured out before returning to the Spanish capital.
The transfer of Lucas Canizares marks a significant move for both Real Madrid and Sporting Clube Farense, with expectations high for the young goalkeeper's future performances in the Primeira Liga.
