As reported by MARCA, Nacho Fernandez has decided to leave the club where he has spent his whole life as of 30 June. The Real Madrid captain intends to have a new football experience, but this time with other added values, such as personal and family experiences that come hand in hand with football. His favourite destination at the moment would be to play in MLS. As we said on Friday, he has not signed anything and his commitment to the club until 30 June is beyond doubt.
The adventure he is planning has nothing to do with money and if the search for other types of situations and incentives. Saudi Arabia has not stopped calling the Madrid centre-back in recent months, but right now it is not the possible destination chosen by Nacho to sign his last contract as a professional footballer.
In any case, the Real Madrid captain is clear that he will not continue to play for any Spanish team and that it will be very difficult for him to play for one that can compete in European competitions against the club of his life. We say this because Inter were keenly interested in signing him last summer and now he is one of the teams who are waiting in the wings for the end of the competition.
Not for the money
The first months of this season were not easy. He played very little and his appearances were accompanied by two expulsions. At all times he felt supported by all those at the club, those on the bench and those in charge. In those days he received the boost of a renewal, but they were not the best days for the defender, for a player who transpires the spirit of the club.
The Spanish international – who could even return to La Roja for the European Championship if he keeps playing at this level – feels the need to explore something new, but that restlessness has nothing to do with money. Nacho is one of those players who have known how to manage and invest to perfection. His family and professional environment has helped since he started playing football.
Starting with the Clasico against Barcelona, Nacho still has a few challenges to meet in the remainder of this season. The emotional burden is going to be heavy. Last season he suffered and enjoyed it, but this time he has already informed the club and Florentino Perez of his decision. Honours for the Real Madrid captain, the one who arrived at the club 23 years ago.
