Nacho Fernández will continue to be one of the 'One club man' of LaLiga and of the history of Real Madrid. At 33 years old, the youth squad player has reached an agreement to renew his contract for one more season, until June 30, 2024. The center-back, with an offer on the table for months, has hesitated in his decision due to temptations from abroad, especially from the Italian league, and due to the shortage of minutes in the final stretch of the season, but in the end, and after a conversation with Carlo Ancelotti, he has chosen to stay and add his 23rd campaign in the Madrid discipline.

The defender arrived at the white youth academy in July 2001, at just 11 years old, to join the Alevín A. From there, a meteoric rise has taken place that has led him to become one of the footballers with the most titles in the club's history.

He has played 319 games with the first team and has won 23 titles: 5 European Cups, 5 Club World Cups, 4 European Super Cups, 3 Leagues, 2 Copas del Rey and 4 Spanish Super Cups.

Nacho had already delivered the news at the concentration of the Spanish team for the League of Nations, assuring that “I'm staying at home”. It was an open secret, like the continuity of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, the latter pending the official statement, and only the Madrid announcement was missing.

Looking ahead to next season, Nacho appears as one of the four center-backs in the squad along with Militao, Alaba and Rüdiger, with the constant possibility of playing on the right side (Carvajal and Lucas are there) or left side (Mendy and Fran García).. With him, Ancelotti completes a defense that, unless Mendy leaves, will not undergo any further changes.
