#4 Isco leaving Real Madrid
Isco has been a bit-part player this season with a clear break in working relation with Santiago Solari. The Spaniard wizard has been limited to just 605 minutes of league football contributing to just one goal and one assist. An imminent departure is definitely on the cards. By the look of it, Solari is set to outstay Isco at the Bernabeu, meaning a big move is coming up for the diminutive Spaniard.
The likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Juventus monitoring his current situation, a move to either of these clubs would be front page newsworthy. Solari favouring a 4-3-3 formation leaves no natural no10 player which is Isco's natural position. Playing out on the wing or deeper isn't something he really fancies.
Isco is obviously pristinely talented and the management sees him as a very valuable player as they had set a huge €700 million buy-out clause in his contract that still stands. It is said that Perez fully backs the manager and believes that the player needs to adapt to the manager's system and not the other way round.
Isco is one of the best creative players in the world and although he isn't playing too often, when he does, there is some royalty about the way he moves. Spain is essentially centred around him. Zidane's third UCL title charge saw him picked over Gareth Bale. He'd easily walk into any side in the world and Madrid would be at a huge loss if they do go ahead and sell him with Modric reaching retirement and no one really there to guide to youngsters in the side.
Manchester City was said to have been making progress to get a move through for the player. Pep would definitely love a player like Isco. He'd be the natural heir to David Silva once he hangs up his boots, but nothing has been reported on that matter. As of now Isco stays put, but if the rift deepens, either the player or the manager has to go and here it looks like it'll be Isco.
