The midfielder has been struggling for minutes at Real Madrid and has been linked with a departure from Bernabeu for months, but he was believed to be keen to fight for his place in the team.
However, with the 2016 European Championship on the horizon, the 25-year-old is keen to play more football this season.
AC Milan made a late enquiry for him last night, but by that time Illarramendi’s heart was set on a move back to the Anoeta.
