    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Nacho could join the likes of ex-La Liga stars Sergio Busquets, Lionel Messi, Riqui Puig and Jordi Alba in MLS - while others like Antoine Griezmann are already linked.

    Former Madrid ace Gareth Bale played for LAFC, so them being a landing destination for the central defender has been mentioned, too. However, no club has officially put their name in the hat for the Spaniard yet.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Nacho took over as captain during the 2023/24 season after Karim Benzema left Madrid for Saudi Arabia. In total, he has made 357 appearances for Madrid.
