Zidane controls Isco's Real Madrid future

Has the opportunity to make midfielder feel wanted

Posted Tuesday, April 04, 2017 by Marca.com

The offer is on the table and it's a firm one of 6 million euros per season over six years, but Isco will only put pen to paper on a fresh Real Madrid contract once he's assured of his importance in Zinedine Zidane's eyes.

Those in the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu stands and the directors' box have thrown their support behind the midfielder after a number of eye-catching displays, with the hope that he'll stay put and continue to grow in the Spanish capital.

However, there is one last element that must be settled for the 24-year-old; his role in the team.

Isco does not only seek to play for Real, but to start in the biggest games and be given a chance to lead the team to glory in the upcoming clashes against Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid.

Therefore it is coach Zidane that holds the player's fate in his hands, once again needing to find the balance between rotations, form, and the clash of egos bubbling under inside the Merengues dressing room.

Money, duration, and all other fine details are of little importance to Isco as seeks a headline role at Real Madrid before he commits his future to the league leaders, an act he remains desperate to do.
