Nacho: 'Saul Niguez is a great player'

Real Madrid defender Nacho hints that he wants his side to move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

Real Madrid defender Nacho has hinted that he wants his side to move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.

Saul turned out for Real's youth team between 2006 and 2008 before joining Atletico, and he has since made more than 200 appearances for the capital outfit's senior team.

The 23-year-old scored his first Spain goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over England in the UEFA Nations League, meanwhile, and Nacho said after the match that it was "a shame" his international teammate played for Atletico.

"It's a shame he plays for our rivals Atletico Madrid, but he's been showing for a long time that he's a great player," Nacho told reporters.

"He's very young, but he's still a great player. He showed it in London by having a great game and scoring a goal. Everything good that happens to him will be good for the national team. I'm very happy for him."

Saul has won one Copa del Rey title and two Europa League crowns at Atletico.
