Real Madrid defender Nacho has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Nacho has spent his entire career at the Santiago Bernabeu, making a total of 318 appearances in all competitions since making his senior debut in 2010-11.
The 33-year-old is a valued squad member at Los Blancos with 26 starts and 15 substitute outings being made during the current campaign.
However, Nacho's contract is due to expire at the end of June and it remains to be seen whether he will look to see out his playing days at the La Liga giants.
According to Sport, Wolves are monitoring the situation ahead of attempting to sign him on a free transfer.

The Premier League outfit and their head coach Julen Lopetegui are currently in limbo of sorts with the club needing to boost their position with FFP.
Furthermore, Lopetegui indicated on Sunday that Wolves are allowing their out-of-contract players to depart Molineux, despite his desire for some of them to pen fresh terms.
As it stands, it appears that further departures are required before any fresh faces come through the door, yet Lopetegui has already informed the club's owners of his preferred targets.
Nacho seemingly features on that shortlist, with the pair familiar with each other through Lopetegui's time with the Spain national team and Real.

The report suggests that Nacho would sign a two-year contract if he made the decision to sign for Wolves, something which would be regarded as a coup despite his age.
Nevertheless, it is claimed that Italy is also an option for Nacho with Inter Milan and Roma also said to be admirers of the player.
Despite those respective clubs preparing for Champions League and Europa League finals respectively, they are each eyeing a number of free agents.
While Nacho is capable of playing across the defence, he has spent much of his career featuring in a back four, whereas Inter and Roma both use back threes.
