Isco has not started a La Liga game for Real Madrid under Santiago Solari and the Premier League is beckoning with Liverpool allegedly keen.

Spain's midfielder Isco celebrates after scoring a goal during a friendly football match between Spain and Argentina at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on March 27, 2018.

Liverpool are among of a host of European giants in the queue to sign out of favour Real Madrid midfielder Isco in the summer, as reported by Tuttosport.

Isco is one of the most gifted footballers in European football, a skilful and creative number ten who inspired Real to their only La Liga title in the last six seasons back in 2017.

But, for whatever reason, the 26-year-old has gone from star man to bench-warmer under Santiago Solari. Since the former Castilla boss took over in October, Isco has not started a single La Liga game. He played just 14 minutes in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Barcelona.

As a result, Tuttosport claims he could be allowed to leave the Santiago Bernebau along with Marcelo, the long-serving left-back who has lost his place to Sergio Reguilon.

It is understood that Juventus and Manchester United are interested but Liverpool are also in the race. Jurgen Klopp’s side may be battling Manchester City for the Premier League title but they are still lacking an orthodox number ten in the place of Philippe Coutinho.

Isco, however, would perhaps be an upgrade.
