Real Madrid superstar wants out after feeling frustrated with Zidane

Reports now confirm that Isco Alarcón now wants to leave Real Madrid in the next winter transfer window due to lack of playing time received.

Isco’s decline in the last three seasons at Real Madrid has been shocking. The former Málaga midfielder was once an undisputed starter at the club and even played a crucial role in Los Blancos’ historic mob of threats in the UEFA Champions League. However, since the 2018/19 season, the Spanish midfielder has shown signs of decline and has since regressed rapidly.

So far this season, the 28-year-old midfielder has just played eight games in La Liga for a total of 308 minutes. This is a clear indicator that Isco has not been used much this season, however, Isco has not been able to take advantage of the opportunities that Zinedine Zidane has presented him so far this season. It is like the case of Rodrygo, the young man does not start often but always takes advantage of the opportunities that Isco does not take advantage of.

At the age of 28, Isco should play or at least start every game as the Spaniard is entering the best years of his career. However, his physical condition and pace of work is lousy, which is one of the many reasons why Zidane has not given the player ample opportunities.

Zinedine Zidane himself has also publicly admitted the lack of playing time that Isco has received so far this season:

Isco is going to be an important player, it is true that he is not playing much and I am not giving him the opportunity to show the player that he is

Meanwhile, reports from SPORT confirm that Isco wants to leave Real Madrid this January transfer market. The Spanish midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League and Everton is one of the few clubs that has been linked with the player.

So far, Real have not received any offers for their midfielder, however, the player is interested in leaving the club in search of playing time. The Premier League and Serie A appear to be the two destinations Isco could be heading towards as Everton and Juventus have shown great interest.
