Carlo Ancelotti Makes Strong Push to Retain Nacho at Real Madrid

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is making a strong push for Nacho to stay with the club for another season.

Nacho, a vital figure for Real Madrid during the 2023-24 season, is nearing the end of his current contract at the Bernabeu and is considering new challenges for the next phase of his career.

According to Marca, Ancelotti has personally urged Nacho to remain at Real Madrid, advising him against making any impulsive decisions to leave.

The report suggests that Nacho’s future is still undecided, and the possibility of extending his contract for another year, until the end of the 2024-25 season, remains open.

Despite competition for his position, Nacho played a significant role for Real Madrid last season, particularly due to injuries to key players like Eder Militao and David Alaba. His adaptability and wealth of experience have been indispensable assets for the team

Having been associated with Real Madrid since 2001 and a regular member of the first team since 2011, Nacho boasts an impressive record with the club, having won numerous domestic and European titles.

Nacho is among the several Real Madrid players whose contracts are set to expire on June 30. While Toni Kroos is retiring, Lucas Vazquez and Luka Modric are expected to extend their stays with the club. Real Madrid faces decisions regarding the futures of loaned players like Kepa Arrizabalaga and Joselu, with the latter having performed well during his loan spell from Espanyol.

Ancelotti’s efforts to retain Nacho underscore the importance of the defender to Real Madrid’s plans for the upcoming season.
