Why Nacho Is Really Leaving Real Madrid?
The real reasons why Nacho has decided to leave Real Madrid.
Nacho Fernández leaving Real Madrid was something people had been speculating about for a while. At 34 years old, with tough competition for a spot in the starting lineup, his chances to play were bound to decrease over time in Madrid.
However, that’s not the only reason for Nacho's departure. With Militao and David Alaba recovering, he’d go back to being the fourth-choice center-back, significantly cutting his playing time.
Money is always a factor, and this time is no different. The Spanish defender will be earning 20 million euros over two seasons in Saudi Arabia.
He’s a Real Madrid legend, with many years and a great career at the club, recently having an amazing season where they won La Liga and the team’s 15th Champions League. Despite this, he chose a new adventure.
