Real Madrid's captain who would choose USA and Messi before Arabia, not Sergio Ramos

The media Relevo has confirmed that Real Madrid's captain, Nacho Fernandez, will not remain at the club for the next season, so he will look for a new team. According to this information, the Spanish defender plans to go to U.S. soccer or, failing that, to Saudi Arabia, as he does not want to ever have to compete against the club of his love, Real Madrid.

Fernandez, 34 years old, has been with Real Madrid for his entire career, as he is a player who emerged from the club's youth ranks and is now the team's first captain as he has been with the institution for the longest time. Nacho made his debut in the Merengue first team in 2012 and since then he has played 355 matches. In addition, he has won a total of 24 titles as a player of the Spanish capital team, including 5 Champions League and 5 Club World Cups.

Nacho Fernandez's contract expires this summer 2024, so he will leave as a free agent, which means that the team that wishes to sign him will not have to pay a single cent to Real Madrid and they will only have to agree on his salary. Currently the market value of the defender is 4 million euros according to Transfermarkt and his salary is around 8 million euros per year.

Now that he will be a free agent and that his intention would be first to reach the MLS, there will surely be many teams interested in him. One of them could well be Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, as it is known that what the team lacks the most is solidity in the defensive area, something that a player like Nacho Fernandez, with all his experience, could surely help to solve.

In Saudi Arabia he would earn more money

The drawback that MLS and Inter Miami would have in signing Nacho is the salary cap that exists in U.S. soccer, something that does not exist in Saudi Arabia, where soccer players are paid huge amounts of money. In that sense, the still Real Madrid player will have to be clear about what he prioritizes, if the lifestyle that the United States offers or the millions that he could pocket in the Saudi Pro League.
