The situation
In the US they intended to sign the Madrid youth squad in January, but Nacho rules it out and what he wants is to renew with the team of his life until 2024.Nacho will turn 33 on January 18, but his physical condition is still impeccable (many voices have claimed that the man from Alcalá should have been on Luis Enrique’s list for Qatar) and his contribution level remains unchanged. In fact, the second captain of Real Madrid, after Benzema and ahead of Modric and Carvajal, has received a call from the MLS, interested in taking over his services for this winter market . The employers of the US League are very interested in attracting a player from that team “from the 14 European Cups”, since this would mean a publicity claim and a boost as happened in their day with the arrival of Beckham or Ibrahimovic. The Real Madrid brand sells a lot in the United States, where there is an important legion of Madridistas, with very important supporters clubs and numerous settled in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Florida, especially. Nacho would be perfect in the MLS due to his experience and versatility, since he can play in all four defensive positions. David Beckham would also be delighted to have him in his Inter Miami. But Nacho doesn’t want to leave the club of his life. He has already accumulated 286 games for white and, although he has played 600 fewer minutes than at this point last season, his idea is to speak with the club at the end of his contract (June 30) and make every effort to renew his continuity until 2024. Nacho is one of the few One Club Manthat remain, given that in the history of Real Madrid there are only four precedents: Zárraga, Camacho, Chendo and Manolo Sanchis (son).
wanted and intended
Nacho is very attached to his life here. He resides in his hometown, Alcalá de Henares, with his wife and his two children, and is already waiting for the arrival of a third party. At the Bernabéu he is much loved and the club always boasts of his professionalism and exemplary character. Ancelotti is also grateful that he plays a little or a lot and never pouts or complains to the media. Carletto calls him a “pessimistic” defender, a glowing compliment because it means that he is focused for 90 minutes and is always very attentive to the possibility that the worst could happen in any play. Also interested in his situation are Milan (he wanted him last summer), Roma (he has wanted to sign him since 2019) and Lopetegui’s Wolves , since the Basque coach has known him well since he was in the lower categories in Valdebebas. Let’s not forget that Nacho played 111 games with Castilla, to which must be added the 286 that he has played with the first team (this season he will reach 300). Nacho stays. The life of him in white he has not yet written the last chapter of him… only thing we have to do is to wait and see what happens.
