#3 Isco to be used as a swap card

Isco has been isolated

According to Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda, Real Madrid are planning to use Isco as a means to bring either Eden Hazard or Kevin De Bruyne. The Spaniard has lost his place in the first-team with the arrival of Santiago Solari and it seems as though he could be out of Madrid.

Inda believes that while the general consensus is that he won’t be sold, his relationship with the coach and the rest of the dressing room is not at its best – which could lead to his departure.

"Madrid are going to try and put Isco in the operation for Hazard or in a possible operation for De Bruyne. In the Bernabéu, they say that he is not for sale, but I believe that it is not the case due to the disaffection with the dome, the coach and the costumes.

“The core of the dressing room is not with Isco because they consider that he is going free and is out of shape."
