Real Madrid defender has a ‘good offer’ from Inter Milan, no decision taken yet | OneFootball

Nacho Fernandez has enjoyed a special connection with Real Madrid over the years. His professional journey with the club began in the C team in 2008, and he needed just one year to secure promotion to the Castilla side.

After four years at the subsidiary level, the defender was called up to the first team in 2013. Almost a decade has passed since that day, and the defender continues to be dedicated as ever to the badge.

All of it could come to an end on Sunday night. Nacho’s contract with Real Madrid ends this summer, and the veteran prioritises playing time, now more than ever.

According to reports from Arancha Rodriguez (h/t Madrid Xtra), the centre-back has still not decided on the next step in his career. He has a good offer from Inter Milan and a move to the UCL finalists cannot be ruled out.

Carlo Ancelotti would love to retain the Spaniard in his dynamics for the 2023-24 campaign but cannot guarantee a starting role in the team. After all, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger, and David Alaba continue to be ahead of him in the pecking order.

Nacho, for his part, has mainly remained coy about his future and has not even responded to the club’s offer.

One can expect the defender to be quizzed about the topic after tonight’s game at Santiago Bernabeu, and it will be interesting to see if he makes any announcements.

The 33-year-old has made 26 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process. However, he has only started 17 games, and even that, largely at full-back. Nevertheless, with seven clean sheets overseen and over five defensive contributions per game, his numbers have been impressive.
