The club was informed by their captain, Nacho Fernandez on Friday night that he intends to leave Real Madrid in the upcoming summer.
At age 34, Nacho is nearing the end of his contract with Los Blancos. The club has granted him complete autonomy over his career path and presented an offer for renewal should he choose to accept it.
Despite spending his entire career at the Spanish capital club, Nacho has made the decision to move on from Santiago Bernabeu.
Nacho appears to be leaning towards joining the MLS.
According to MARCA, Nacho's preference is shifting towards a move to the MLS in America despite notable attention from Saudi Arabia.
According to the report, the Real Madrid captain is looking for a fresh footballing adventure with an added emphasis on personal and family experiences that come as part of the package.
Despite relentless interest from Saudi Arabia in recent months, Nacho currently has other plans for signing what could be his final contract as a professional footballer and is not considering it as an option.
Currently, his preferred place to play is in the American MLS.
Nothing has been signed yet.
Currently, Nacho's dedication to Real Madrid remains unbroken until the end of his contract on June 30th and he has not entered into any agreements with other teams.
Despite interest from Inter Milan, it appears likely that he will work outside of Europe based on current indications.
It seems unlikely that Nacho will join a team in Spain, since he doesn't want to play against Real Madrid as an opponent. This reluctance also makes it less probable for him to move on to teams like Inter Milan who are participating in the UEFA Champions League competition.
The 34-year-old Spaniard is most likely to move to the MLS.
