Negotiations are still yet to begin between Real Madrid and Isco regarding a new contract for the midfielder, whose current deal runs out in 2018.
Unable to consistently nail down a spot in the starting XI, the Spaniard has become something of an alternative first port of call for Zinedine Zidane this season, earning the respect of his coach in the process for an undying attitude.
However, it’s the club hierarchy who more carefully consider Isco’s future, having taken the decision not to extend his deal in the raft of early season handouts that saw Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale, and many others sign on to long-term contracts.
The lack of discussion between the two parties concerned has seen both settle for only addressing the issue at the end of the season, by which point Los Blancos will have a clearer picture of his usefulness to the first-team.
