Nacho Fernandez is one of too many Real Madrid players whose contract expires this summer. The 33-year-old was a bench player at the beginning of the season, but in recent weeks, he has cemented himself as a regular starter.

Nacho has proven his worth to Real Madrid, so the club will be delighted that he seems ready to sign a new contract. It could be a one-year deal, despite reports that he has been offered three-year contracts from others clubs interested in his services.

The veteran defender will hope to keep his place during the season, with Real Madrid officials reportedly unsure about the performance levels of both Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy.
