According to reports from El Larguero, Real Madrid has presented Nacho Fernandez with a contract renewal offer. Unlike the offer presented to Sergio Ramos a few years ago, the contract does not have a deadline at the moment.
Real Madrid recently decided to change its policy of putting deadlines on renewal offers for players over 30. And Nacho Fernandez is the first beneficiary of this new approach. The defender has a renewal offer on the table, which has no deadline or expiry date. It is now up to Nacho to decide whether to sign the deal or not.
Despite his frustrations, Nacho has proven to be an important player for Real Madrid this season. He has made 26 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
Will Nacho Fernandez renew his contract?
If Nacho were to renew his contract, it would likely be for a reduced salary and a shorter duration than his previous deal. However, the club hopes that he will continue to be an important presence both on and off the field.
Nacho’s mental struggle did not seem to affect his performance on the field. As he quickly became the go-to option for any injuries in the defensive line. In recent weeks, he has been covering at left-back for Ferland Mendy and occasionally playing in central defense. He scored a goal in their 2-0 win over Cadiz last weekend. He also made a short appearance in their recent 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Nacho Fernandez’s contract with Real Madrid is set to expire this summer and negotiations for a renewal are reportedly underway. While the club values Nacho’s professionalism and loyalty, the defender is reportedly not guaranteed a starting spot for the upcoming season. He will likely continue as a substitute. However, it remains to be seen whether Nacho will accept a contract extension that doesn’t offer him a guaranteed spot in the starting lineup.
