Real Madrid defender Nacho coy over future: Many things have crossed my mind

Real Madrid defender Nacho remains coy over his future plans.

Nacho's deal is running down and will expire in June.

After their Champions League win at Liverpol, he said: "I still haven't decided what I'll do. It is a personal and family decision. I don't want to send a message because my relationship with the club couldn't be better, it's incredible, but many things have crossed my mind. Now I'm playing a lot more and I'm much happier. When I make the decision, the first to know will be the club. Even if I play every minute, it won't influence my decision.

“I had a really bad time because I thought I deserved to play more. A lot of things went through my head. It's complicated when you don't have the rhythm of the game, it's not easy for me either. I have taken on a role in which I have always fulfilled when I have been needed.

"As the years go by I consider myself a better player than before. It seems easy but it is not easy to adapt to many positions. I would like to consolidate myself as a centre-back but in Madrid it is not easy at all."
