Real Madrid Transfer News: Isco's Agent Confirms Juventus Interest Amid Rumours

The agent of Real Madrid playmaker Isco has confirmed his player is wanted by Juventus amid rumours linking him with a move away from the Liga giants, per TuttoMercatoWeb (h/t Sport)

Isco’s father, who is also his representative as his agent, has admitted the Spain international is being tracked by the Serie A leaders. However, Paco Alarcon insists his son’s ambition is to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu and fight for a first-team place. 

Per WhoScored.com, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder has made 20 starts in La Liga this term under managers Rafael Benitez and Zinedine Zidane, contributing three goals in the process. However, the former Malaga star is eager for a more regular starting berth.

The creative player has been criticised for his performances and attitude at different moments during the current campaign. Per Alejandro Alcazar of Sport, senior figures at Real also became upset with the behaviour of the precocious talent earlier in the year.

Isco demonstrated his true potential as he started and scored in Real’s 5-1 away win over Getafe on Saturday but has become increasingly frustrated at being left out of the starting XI for important matches under Zidane this term. 

The Real Madrid account celebrated Isco's first-half strike enthusiastically, as the Spain international put Los Blancos 2-0 up against their city rivals:

Per TuttoMercadoWeb, his father confirmed the interest from Massimiliano Allegri’s side is substantial, yet no terms have been officially negotiated.

“Isco likes Juventus, but he wants to stay at Real Madrid,” Alarcon said. "The interest from Juventus is there, they've been following him for a while, but there has not been an official bid."

However, the attacking midfielder’s agent hinted Isco’s future may be reassessed in the close season.

"For now, [Isco] is only thinking about finishing the season with Real Madrid—which is where he wants to stay in the future as well,” he continued. "He is already at one of the best clubs in the world.”
