Al Qadsiah has surprised Spanish defender Nacho with a special bonus following his impressive performances since joining the Saudi club. The Saudi side decided to reward the former Real Madrid captain with a financial incentive after he played a key role in the team’s recent positive results.
According to sources close to the club, the bonus was triggered by specific performance clauses in Nacho’s contract. The 34-year-old has been a mainstay in Al Qadsiah’s defense since his arrival in the summer of 2024, bringing experience and leadership to the backline.
Nacho joined Al Qadsiah on a free transfer after his contract with Real Madrid expired at the end of the 2023-2024 season. He signed a two-year deal with the Saudi Pro League side, keeping him at the club until 2026.
The Spanish international has made 18 appearances for Al Qadsiah so far this season, helping the team climb to a strong position in the league table. His consistent displays have made him a fan favorite at the Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.
Club officials confirmed that the bonus was not part of the original contract but was offered as a gesture of appreciation for Nacho’s commitment and professionalism. The amount of the bonus has not been disclosed, but sources describe it as “significant.”
Nacho has previously stated that he is enjoying his time in Saudi Arabia and feels valued by the club’s management. The defender has adapted quickly to life in the Gulf kingdom and has become a leader both on and off the pitch.
Al Qadsiah’s decision to reward Nacho reflects the club’s ambition to build a competitive squad and retain key players. The Saudi side is currently pushing for a top-four finish in the league and hopes to qualify for Asian competitions next season.
