Nacho Fernández has decided to leave Real Madrid, heading to Saudi Arabia to join Al Qadsiah, a team recently promoted to the Saudi League and managed by former Real Madrid player Michel.
Nacho has signed a two-year contract with Al Qadsiah, earning close to 10 million euros tax-free, as Saudi Arabia does not impose state taxes, allowing the full salary to go directly to the player.
This move marks the end of Nacho’s long journey with Real Madrid, which began in his childhood and saw him reach significant heights, including celebrating the League title and the recent Champions League victory.
The agreement was finalized recently, following the completion of his medical examination a few days ago.
Real Madrid is aware of the completed deal and, as reported by MARCA, has ramped up efforts to secure the signing of Leny Yoro.
Al Qadsiah, despite being newly promoted, aims to compete with the top teams for the League title, backed by the oil company Aramco and guided by Michel’s expertise and football knowledge.
Saudi Arabian football is on the rise and has received another boost with Al-Ittihad reportedly planning to make a new €175 million move for Premier League star Mohamed Salah, according to Saudi media outlets.
The Saudi Pro League club has sensationally offered Liverpool star Mohamed Salah a bombshell three-year contract worth £65 million per year. This contract would see Salah receive a weekly wage of £1.25 million, and with bonuses and sponsorships included, he would earn more than Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
