Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful of Nacho staying.

The defender is off contract at the end of next month.

Ancelotti said, "I understand. His future is in his hand. He can stay here with everyone's love. I think the club has spoken with him to renew him and is thinking about what is best for him. As soon as the season is over, everything will become clear."

On Eden Hazard, he added: "What Hazard needs I will talk to him, not here. He has a contract, so it is assumed that he will continue. Like all players who have a contract, if they are not comfortable they have to ask to leave."
