Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane doesn’t consider the Spaniard a key player, and is open to the idea of leaving, with clubs such as Tottenham and Malaga interested.
And according to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, the European champions are trying their best to convince Isco to consider an exit from the Bernabeu as he is unlikely to feature regularly under Zidane this season.

Despite interest and contacts from Tottenham, the midfielder’s advisers prefer a move to Malaga as it will allow Isco to continue playing in the Spanish top tier.
However, the time for a move away from Real Madrid is running out fast and Isco will have to decide soon if he wants to secure a transfer by the end of the day.
