Isco set for Real Madrid departure following fallout with Solari

Isco did not take kindly to the boos at Santiago Bernabeu

Isco's situation at Real Madrid is not getting any better and according to Goal, Los Blancos might sell him if things do not take a turn for the better.

Isco started this season out as a starter under Lopetegui. But since Solari took over at the helm, Isco has seen playing time come at a premium. Isco is struggling in Solari's more direct system and the club will drop the guillotine on his time at the club if he doesn't adapt to the current system.

Isco's attitude has been questioned and he has now been reportedly denied a meeting with Florentino Perez where he was expected to voice his displeasure.

Florentino Perez and the board are not happy with how Isco gestured at the fans at the Santiago Bernabeu after being booed for the entirety of the game.

The report adds that Real Madrid are ready to let him go in January if he publicly requests such a move.
