Real Madrid defender Nacho set for Santiago Bernabeu exit at the end of the season

Despite doubts lingering at certain points this year, Nacho has proven time and again that he's still got what it takes. 

His recent performance, notably his contest against Haaland in the Champions League, showcases his unwavering skill and determination.

Last season, Nacho seemed poised to bid farewell to Real Madrid, only to have a change of heart at the eleventh hour. 

However, this time around, he seems more resolute in his decision to move on. Despite turning 34 in January, Nacho continues to demonstrate his value on the pitch, leaving no doubt about his ability to compete at the highest level.

According to Marca as reported by Fabrizio on X, Nacho has informed Real Madrid of his intention to leave at the end of the season. The club has been informed. Nacho’s contract expires in June and he’s now really planning to leave as free agent.

While Nacho's departure is not yet confirmed, the club and coach are aware of his intentions. Despite offers from several teams, including Inter, Nacho has his sights set on a potential adventure abroad. 

However, his loyalty to Real Madrid remains unwavering, with his commitment to the club paramount in his mind. This season, Nacho has played a pivotal role, with his reliability and leadership qualities shining through. 

Although his departure would mark the end of an era for Real Madrid, the club is prepared to respect his decision and move forward accordingly.
