Isco has endured a nightmare season at Real Madrid and may be benched again for the club’s Copa del Rey game with Barcelona tonight.
The Spain international has fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu, with Santiago Solari regularly leaving him out of his match day XI.
Isco has been tipped to leave Real Madrid for a new challenge elsewhere, with the midfielder being linked to Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and PSG amid his struggles.
And Spanish outlet Ok Diario say Isco was involved in a training ground bust-up with team-mate Sergio Reguilon.
OK Diario director Eduardo Inda said: “Isco is very nervous .
“Reguilon entered and they did not get to hit, but they had to separate because Isco was going for him.”
Isco has lost the support of the Real Madrid locker room in recent times.
And fans, too, have turned against the Spaniard amid his current issues under Santiago Solari.
Solari, meanwhile, has refused to give Isco advice on how to break into his side.
“I’m not the one to advise anyone,” he recently said.
“These players have a lot of experience and many titles. A footballer who comes into the first team and has been around so long has all the experience necessary to know what they have to do.
“There are young people, but also others with a lot of experience.”
Barcelona have mischievously admitted they would be open to bringing Isco to the Nou Camp should he opt to leave Real.
“If our coaches asked us for a player and they want to leave Madrid, of course we would sign them,” president Josep Maria Bartomeu said.
“But it has not happened since I’ve been here.
“There are no non-aggression pacts. Each one tries to make their team more competitive.
“Isco? For the sake of Real Madrid I would speak with the president of Real Madrid [Florentino Perez].”
