Toni Kroos has gone, Kylian Mbappe has arrived, and those will pretty much be the biggest changes in the Royal Club’s squad. Subsequently, the Brazilian young miracle, Endrick, will also be an addition to the team. However, there is one detail that bugs Carlo Ancelotti – the captain. Namely, Nacho Fernandez made the decision a few weeks ago to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season once his contract expires. He lifted the Champions League trophy as a captain, and he definitely could not have imagined a better farewell. Nevertheless, the Italian strategist hopes that the experienced defender will change his mind.He won’t make his Real Madrid debut before late July, but Mbappe has already started earning moneyNacho grew up in Real, he has been in the club for 23 years, he played for all youth categories on his way to the first team and patiently waited for his chance there for years. Always being in the shadow of more famous names, a universal soldier for any role, happy with every minute he gets. Last season he played the most matches since he joined Real – 45 in total. He played in 12 out of 13 matches in the Champions League and did a decent job against some of the best today’s strikers Haaland and Kane, but he was also lucky that Militao and Alaba missed most of the season due to injuries and opened the space for him in the starting lineup.THE MOST ICONIC football tradition in the world done by a Real Madrid captain!Nacho does this for the second time in a year 🤍pic.twitter.com/K0uBve7Sqz— Tamoghna (@ReyesDeUniverso) June 2, 2024 Now that everyone is healthy, Nacho doesn’t see his future at Real. He is aware that he will have a smaller role. The Royal Club’s habit of only offering one-year contract extensions to veterans does not work in his favour either. Nacho is 34, and it is unlikely that he will be offered anything more than that. That’s why he announced to Perez and Ancelotti a few weeks ago that he would leave the club. However, the Italian is now begging him to change his mind.”Don’t be crazy, stay here with us. You don’t know how “cold” it is outside Real Madrid,” the coach told the captain.According to Marca, Ancelotti’s gesture moved Nacho and made him think a little more about his decision. His first option was to move to the USA, while the second one was Saudi Al Nasr, who showed interest, but Nacho did not want to move there. He was also contacted by Italian clubs such as Inter Milan. Real and Ancelotti don’t rush him to make up his mind and hope that he will wear the jersey of the Royal Club for at least one more season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8148325##
