Real Madrid have confirmed that captain Nacho Fernandez will leave this summer, ending a 23-year association with the club.

Nacho joined Real Madrid’s youth system in 2001 at the age of 10 and made his senior debut in 2012, before going on to win six Champions League titles, five Club World Cups, four European Super Cups, four La Liga titles, two Copa del Reys and five Spanish Super Cups.

He is one of five players in football history to win the Champions League/European Cup six times.

Club president Florentino Perez said: “Since arriving at our youth academy as a child, Nacho has been an example of progress for everyone and has earned the love, recognition and admiration of all Real Madrid fans. Real Madrid is and will always be his home.”

Nacho, who is currently playing for Spain at EURO 2024, is expected to join newly promoted Saudi Pro League side Al Qadsiah on a free transfer after his contract at the Bernabeu expires.
