Real Madrid fans are used to wait until the final moments of the transfer window to know if they have new players added to their roster, and this time, they will have to wait until the last second to know who won't be included in the squad.
Zinedine Zidane might run into a problem during the season, since some of his players won't be satisfied by picking up a few minutes here and there. With that in mind, one of the players Real Madrid are willing to part ways with is none other than Isco.
Reports from Spanish newspapers As and Marca reveal that the former Málaga midfielder could return to Los Boquerones on a loan deal, with Tottenham also plotting to lure the player away to the Premier League.
The reason behind this decision would be the amount of creative midfielders Zidane will have available. If James Rodriguez had left the club this summer, Isco would have been kept around, but once Zidane decided the Colombian's fate with the club, "Zizou" and his crew asked Isco to look for more minutes away from Los Blancos.
The 24-year-old striker has scored 22 goals in 151 apps for the Spanish giants.
Isco's inner circle would like the player to keep playing in La Liga, but Tottenham's offer to play UEFA Champions League football could end up seducing the midfielder. It will only be a matter of hours before we know the end of this story.
