Plans are being made for the 2024-2025 season. Ancelotti made it clear to Nacho that he wanted him to stay in the team a few weeks back and has now reiterated that request. He told Nacho, "Don't do anything stupid, stay here, with us, at Real Madrid." By retaining Nacho, Ancelotti hopes to prevent the strength and balance of the team from being affected, as Nacho's contribution, both on and off the field, cannot be ignored.

A few months ago, Nacho had decided that this was his last season at Real Madrid and informed Carlo Ancelotti and club president Florentino. However, the successes and celebrations of recent weeks have caused him some wavering. While he has yet to make a final decision, his family has become a key factor with his future plans.

Nacho's initial option was to start a new life in the United States with his family, but that plan has yet to take shape. Riyadh Victory is the latest option to emerge, but was not Nacho's initial target. Furthermore, the contract extension offered by Real Madrid is still in effect.

Interestingly, one of the reasons Nacho decided to leave was that he wasn't too happy that Ancelotti wasn't giving him enough opportunities to play. Ancelotti tried to get Nacho to reconsider by stating, "You don't know how cold it is outside." This statement reveals Ancelotti's concern about the importance of Nacho's position at Real Madrid and his concern about the challenges Nacho may face if he leaves.
