Nacho is leaving Real Madrid at his own request after a total of 23 years at the club and twelve seasons in the first team. The Spanish record champions made the announcement on Tuesday.
Neither the professional nor the club have yet revealed whether and where the 34-year-old central defender, who is currently competing in the European Championships with Spain in Germany, will continue his career.
The specialist media recently brought a move to the Saudi club Al-Ittihad into play. According to the reports, Nacho is set to sign a two-year contract in Jeddah with a salary of around 20 million euros per season. According to the newspaper "Marca", he most recently received a salary of around 5.5 million euros per year in Madrid.
José Ignacio Fernandez Iglesias, which is the footballer's real name, joined Real in 2001 at the age of ten. He has been a member of the first team since 2012, winning 26 titles with the club, including six Champions League titles.
