Nacho Fernandez, captain of Real Madrid, will depart the club at the end of the 2023-24 season, according to a report in Spanish outlet MARCA. The defender, a product of Real Madrid’s youth academy and lifelong supporter of the club, has opted not to extend his contract, expiring this summer.
Fernandez’s decision paves way for a new chapter in his career as he explores opportunities as a free agent. Real Madrid, with established center-backs Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, and David Alaba, will likely turn to the transfer market to find a replacement.
Meanwhile, Inter could stand a genuine chance at securing his services on a free transfer.
