Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has dispelled the rumours and said that he wishes for Isco to stay at the club all his life. “I want Isco to spend all his career here. That will not change. He is a very good footballer, he has shown that and can always show that. So the media report is a lie,” he said.
“Today you’re asking me about Isco, next day you’ll be asking me about (Marco) Asensio and then about (Dani) Ceballos. I trust and want all of them to stay,” he added.
“I said I’ve always believed in my team and I will do until the very end. When I start something I get involved, I believe where I’m going, what I should be doing and I back the people I’m working with. Isco’s one of them. He a very good footballer. He’s proven that in the past and will do that again. It’s a lie that I want Isco to be sold in the summer. Hopefully we won’t hear any more of this,” he continued.
