Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for Real Madrid midfielder Isco in the January transfer window.
Well-known Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague has told Sky Sports that Isco will not leave Real Madrid for Barcelona in the January transfer window.
According to a report in The Mirror, Tottenham are interested in signing Isco on a loan deal from Spanish giants Madrid in January.
Balague, though, has claimed that Zinedine Zidane’s side are not going to part company with the Spain international.
The Spanish journalist has added that Madrid are thinking of handing the 24-year-old attacking midfielder a new contract.
Isco joined Madrid from Malaga in the summer of 2013 and has a contract with the Spanish giants until June 2018, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
“Forget it, it’s not going to happen,” Balague told Sky Sports when asked about Isco to Tottenham in January. “Zero chances of that happening.
“Real are seeing that he is improving and they are thinking of giving him a new contract. Remember, Real cannot sign for two transfer windows.”
Isco is a supremely talented footballer who has a lot of potential, and it makes sense that Madrid are thinking of giving him a new contract.
The Spaniard is a very creative midfielder and is playing well for Los Blancos at the moment.
The 24-year-old has scored two goals and created 12 chances in nine La Liga matches for Madrid so far this season, according to Squawka.com.
