Report: Valencia want centre-back Nacho

Valencia are reportedly interested in signing Spanish centre-back Nacho from Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old has been with Los Blancos since 2001, making his way through the academy system before earning a first-team appearance in 2011.

The defender has made 44 appearances for the Spanish giants over the last two seasons, but has struggled to win a regular spot under Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez or Zinedine Zidane.

According to Super Deporte, Valencia want to bring the Spaniard to the Mestalla and hope that the lure of first-team football will be enough to turn the defender's head.

Roma have also been linked with a summer move for the four-time Spain international.
