Nacho Fernandez, the experienced defender who spent his entire professional career at Real Madrid, has found a new home in Saudi Arabia. Al-Qadsiah, a club in the Saudi Pro League, announced on Thursday that Nacho had signed a two-year deal with them after leaving the Spanish giants as a free agent.
Nacho, 34, was a key figure for Real Madrid for over two decades, rising through the youth ranks and making over 250 appearances for the senior team. He won numerous trophies with the club, including five Champions League titles and three La Liga championships.
While Nacho was a reliable backup option for much of his career, his leadership and experience were highly valued by Real Madrid. He now heads to Al-Qadsiah, looking for a new challenge and potentially more playing time in a less competitive league. The move to Saudi Arabia comes after Nacho’s stint with the Spanish national team at the Euros this summer.
