Real Madrid’s long-serving defender and captain, Nacho, is set to leave the club after an impressive 23-year tenure at the Santiago Bernabeu, the La Liga giants announced on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old Spanish international, who joined Real Madrid’s youth academy in 2001, has had a storied career with the club, winning six Champions League titles, four La Liga titles, and two Copa del Rey trophies.

Nacho’s illustrious career is highlighted by his role in lifting Real Madrid’s 15th Champions League trophy at Wembley.

He is one of only five players in history to have won six European Cups, making him a central figure in the club’s history.

Speculation suggests Nacho may be heading to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah, although no official confirmation has been made.

Nacho’s departure marks the end of an era for Real Madrid, as they bid farewell to one of their most dedicated and successful players.

Argentina and Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández has withdrawn from national team duty, citing a persistent knee problem that has troubled him over the past four months.

According to an X post by Fabrizio Romano on Saturday, Enzo said, “I was just talking to the medical team because I’ve had a problem with my knee for the last four months.

“I will not be available with Argentina.”

The 25-year-old has been a key player in Argentina’s midfield, known for his composure, passing range, and defensive contributions.

His absence comes at a crucial time as the team prepares for upcoming international fixtures and friendly matches.

Fernández’s withdrawal raises questions about Argentina’s midfield options, as coach Lionel Scaloni now looks to adjust his squad and fill the gap left by the talented midfielder.

Enzo played a key role in Chelsea’s 3-0 win against Wolves on Saturday.
