Former Real Madrid defender Nacho’s move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah marks a major transition in his illustrious career. After bidding farewell to the Spanish champions following a remarkable 23-year tenure, Nacho is set to embrace a new chapter following Euro 2024, where he is set to represent Spain.
In a statement reflecting his characteristic focus and determination, Nacho commented on the upcoming move, expressing that such off-field developments do not detract from his performance on the pitch.”These things don’t affect me in the games. I knew it for months and it’s made me enjoy things more,” Nacho said.
Nacho’s upcoming venture with Al-Qadsiah comes at a significant time for the club, as they recently secured promotion to the top division by clinching the Saudi First Division League title. The influx of high-profile players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema’s notable transfers to Al Nassr and Al-Ittihad respectively, underscores the growing stature of the Saudi Pro League in the global football landscape.
Furthermore, the substantial investment in the league, evident from the noteworthy transfer spend that surpassed major European leagues such as Spain’s La Liga and the Bundesliga, highlights the increasing competitiveness and allure of football in Saudi Arabia. This trend is poised to further elevate the league’s profile and attract international talent and attention.
Amid these developments, Spain’s upcoming Euro 2024 match against Georgia intensifies the spotlight on Nacho and his compatriots as they continue their pursuit of success on the international stage.
