However, the defender, was then offered a deal by Al Qadisiyah and, wanting to secure his transfer as soon as possible, has accepted the contract.

The centre-back has won a joint-club record 26 titles with Los Blancos, having joined the Madrid giants aged 11 and come through the academy.

His deal with Real is due to expire in several days and he had thought about his future after the end of the season.

Nacho captained Los Blancos to a UCL and La Liga double this campaign, having come close to leaving Real Madrid in the past summer but decided to stay.
