Zinedine Zidane's intense defense of his current squad may end during the summer, as the French boss has already started planning a major overhaul to lead Real Madrid back to La Liga greatness next season.
According to a report by Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, an insider revealed that Zidane is still trusted by Florentino Pérez, and the Spanish tycoon is willing to keep the French manager around for next season.
If the former Ballon D'Or winner continues as Los Blancos' tactician, his first course of action will be trying to convince the board to sell Isco, since the player "let him down" during the current season.
Isco's form has failed to impress the French tactician, who has often chosen to leave him on the bench in favor of other options such as an ailing Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale (when fit). Furthermore, Zidane's dismay comes from last season, when he decided to keep the Málaga-born player around rather than giving James Rodríguez another shot.
There are only two matters to be settled by Real Madrid if this story ends up being true. First off, Zidane's future with the team, as he still can decide to leave the club on his own. Next, Isco's buyout clause was risen to €700M (around $860M), but if Los Blancos' decide to sell the player, they'll have to bring that number way down.
