Isco has admitted that he could leave Real Madrid next summer if he is still out of favour under Zinedine Zidane come the end of the season.
The Spain international has played just five games for the Spanish giants this term and has only started once.
His place in the national team is now under the pump and he needs to play regular first-team games to cement his place in Julen Lopetegui’s side.
Premier League trio Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been heavily linked with a move for the playmaker in recent years.
The 24-year-old has now revealed that he will be willing to leave the Bernabeu if his playing time is still limited under Madrid legend Zidane.
“If I’ve still only made a few appearances by the end of the season, I’ll look elsewhere,” Isco said.
“At 24 years of age, I have to right to better myself.”
Isco joined Madrid from fellow La Liga side Malaga back in 2013 and turned down a big money move to Manchester City in order to move to the Spanish capital.
The attacking midfielder has played 32 games in the league on average in the last three seasons but looks unlikely to get half of that amount this campaign as Zidane favours a more vigorous midfield.
