Recently, the Spanish press has been talking a lot about the future of Isco, the midfielder for "Real" Madrid.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has a contract with "Real" until 2018. There have been rumors in the media that the Spaniard is not entirely satisfied with his playing time in the "white" team and will not rush to extend his contract.
This has led to speculation about Isco's future. According to foreign sources, Juventus in Turin and Tottenham in London are seriously interested in the midfielder, but unexpectedly Barcelona also wanted to get involved in negotiations, offering 20 million euros for Isco to wait for the end of his contract at "Real" and arrive for free in Barcelona in the summer of 2018.
Nevertheless, Isco does not intend to make decisions that would shake Spanish football. According to "AS", "Real" is very close to reaching an agreement with the player for a new contract.
Isco is expected to sign a new five-year contract soon, valid until 2023. His salary will also increase - under the new contract, the Spaniard will earn nearly 8 million euros per season.
Isco's new contract is likely to mean the departure of James Rodriguez in the summer. The Spanish player has been promised a starting position for the next season.
This season, Isco played 30 matches for "Real", scoring six goals and providing the same number of assists.
