The situation
That stretch of darkness made him rethink things, despite the fact that his representatives already contacted Real Madrid at the beginning of the season and made an appointment for the end of the course with the intention of extending his contract for one more season. The youth player knows that he will have that offer on the table and that Real Madrid values his performance, his career and the excellent attitude that he has always shown, even when he is not playing. But the European clubs have smelled the blood and moved the token for him. Madrid knows perfectly well that if Nacho leaves, it will be to play abroad ; He does not want to face the white team on a recurring basis, such is his Real Madridism. In the past he has had proposals of all kinds, especially from Italy, where he was tempted by Rome, Naples, Inter, Juventus… Benfica also approached him in 2020, after his season with fewer minutes in white. And there were also attempts from the Premier, which is now back on the attack. As AS has learned, Nacho has interested clubs that send him proposals for between two and three years of contract, in addition to keeping his salary conditions. In Madrid he knows the rule: in players well into their thirties, it is renewed year after year. Let them tell Sergio Ramos.
Nacho and being a ‘One Club Man’
All this has led Nacho to doubt what to do in the future. Sources close to the player report that they do not see him moving from Real Madrid; The idea of ending his career as a ‘One Club Man’ and having a role in Madrid’s successes, even if not as a starter, has a lot of weight in him. In addition, he knows that if he maintains his performance, the contract extensions will continue to come year after year, as has already happened with other players, such as Modric. But the foreigner’s proposals guarantee him a medium-term future from now on and would mean having more ease to play minutes regularly.
