Real Madrid have made a surprising new choice regarding one of their veterans.
Real Madrid will leave it to Nacho Fernandez to decide whether or not to extend his contract with the club this season, according to the latest reports from the Spanish capital. The 34-year-old central defender almost left last summer, and it will be up to him again this summer.
Nacho has played much more this season than last under Carlo Ancelotti, but according to Diario AS, he has to decide if he has the desire and energy to continue, as Los Blancos have offered him a new contract he some time ago. If he wants to sign, he can do it tomorrow,” it was said.
Nacho can extend
Despite the increase in minutes played, Nacho has seen how Ancelotti has used Aurélien Tchouameni for the most important matches as a central defender in recent months, a trend which continued on Tuesday against Manchester City.
He could of course leave the club in full glory if Los Blancos win La Liga this season, with Nacho as captain. Furthermore, Real Madrid could turn to Leny Yoro this summer, which would further reduce his role, with David Alaba and Eder Militao also recovering from injuries.
