Spaniard set to complete Real Madrid transfer; Club president drops major hint, deal almost done

The Spanish defender has fallen out of favour at Santiago Bernabeu and will join the Italian giants Roma on loan for the whole of next season.

The Serie A club have an option to sign Nacho permanently when the loan deal expires, however, Real Madrid have also inserted a buyback clause in the player’s agreement much like that of Morata at Juventus.

With the likes of Varane, Ramos, Pepe at the club, Nacho will rarely make any first team appearances for Los Blancos (unless there is an injury crisis) and the loan move is a great chance for him to kick-start his stagnating career with regular first team football.
