Isco will ask to leave Real Madrid in the summer if Santiago Solari stays on as manager next season, claims AS.
The Spain international has dropped completely out of favour since Solari was appointed Julen Lopetegui’s successor at the end of October.
Isco has only started two of the 19 matches Solari has overseen as Madrid manager but is not interested in leaving this month.
With Madrid performing poorly in all competitions, it is expected that Solari will be sacked before the start of next season.
Isco is prepared to wait until the summer to see who Madrid’s manager will be for next season but will ask to leave if Solari remains in charge.
The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City all season but he is not thought to be a target for Pep Guardiola’s side given they are well stocked in positions Isco can play.
Isco has only started five league games this season but Madrid have a better win ratio in those matches (60%) than they do when he hasn’t featured from the off (53.3%) in La Liga this season.
