Isco Admits Real Madrid Future in Doubt After Lack of Playing Time This Season

Published on: 18 February 2017

Real Madrid midfielder Isco has admitted that his future with the European champions is in doubt after a lack of playing time so far this season.


The Spain international has started just 11 of 21 La Liga games, and appeared only once in the Champions League.


And, amid links to Premier League clubs Arsenal and Chelsea, Isco has admitted that he may have to make a decision on his future.

"I'm calm. What worries me is to have minutes," he toldbeIN SPORTS. "A player's career is small.I'm happy here and would stay many more years.


"From now until the end of the season, we will make a decision," Isco added. "It is my future at stake."


The 24-year-old was also linked with what would be a controversial move to Barcelona during last month's transfer window.


Isco's contract expires in 2018, and he has struggled to establish himself as a regular since joining Los Blancos from Malaga for £23m in 2013.

He has showed flashes of his potential, however, providing both assists in last weekend's 2-0 win against Espanyol.


Manager Zinedine Zidane, meanwhile, expressed his belief that Isco remains happy at the club.


"Isco is happy and committed to what he is doing,"Zidane said at his post-match media conferenceafter the win against Espanyol.


"I'm pleased with how well he has done. He had a great game and I'm not just looking at his two assists for the goals. He worked well from the start."
