Nacho is set to leave Real Madrid for Saudi Arabia club Al Qadsiah after the expiration of his contract at the end of June.
He will sign a two-year contract with Al Qadsiah, a newly promoted outfit in Saudi Arabia, where he will earn €10 million.
According to Al Qadsiah closed the agreement in the last few hours, as Nacho had already completed his medical earlier this week.
This is a lucrative deal for a player who had spent 23 years at the Spanish giants and always put the club’s best interests ahead of his own.
After captaining the club to their 15th Champions League title and their 36th La Liga title, Nacho is now looking forward to a new challenge at Al Qadsiah, where he will be coached by former Real Madrid player Michel.

Born in Madrid, Nacho arrived in Real Madrid’s youth system at the age of 11 and made his senior debut in 2008–09.
On 23 April 2011, Nacho made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, starting as a left back in a 6–3 away win against Valencia and playing in the entire match.
He made over 300 appearances and won several trophies, including a joint record six Champions Leagues, a record shared with Paco Gento, Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos and Dani Carvajal.
He has won a total of 26 trophies at Real Madrid, making him the joint most decorated player in the club’s history (alongside Modrić).
