Official: Real Madrid’s 2023/24 La Liga Fixture List Announced
Following the announcement of Toni Kroos’s contract extension on Wednesday, Real Madrid have officially confirmed that another veteran star, Nacho Fernandez, has signed a new deal with the club until 2024.
Like Kroos, Nacho’s previous contract was also about to expire on June 30. And there was some doubt over his extension as the player had not entirely been happy with the amount of game-time he had received in this past season.
Ultimately, though, the Spanish international has decided to prolong his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu for one more year, continuing his legacy as a one-club man.
“Real Madrid C. F. and Nacho Fernández have agreed to extend the contract of our captain, who remains linked to the club until 30 June 2024,” the official statement read.
Nacho has been with Real Madrid for more than two decades now, having joined the club as an 11-year-old back in 2001. He broke into the first team close to a decade ago and has gone on to make 319 appearances, winning several titles (23) along the way.
With Karim Benzema having left the club this summer, Nacho will be the first captain of the team for the upcoming season and will aim to lead his side to success after a middling 2022/23 campaign.
