Isco staying at Real Madrid, insists Zidane

Isco staying at Real Madrid, insists Zidane
The midfielder says his future depends on whether or not the club want him to stay and the Blancos boss maintains he is going nowhere this summer
Zinedine Zidane insists Isco is staying at Real Madrid despite not being a regular starter in their run to Champions League glory.
The 24-year-old only started two of his side's seven matches in the tournament's knockout stages, with Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric serving as Zidane's preferred midfield three.
After the penalty shootout victory over Atletico Madrid in the final last Saturday, Isco revealed he would opt to stay if Madrid wanted to keep him despite reports linking him with Juventus and several Premier League clubs.
Zidane maintains he wants to keep Isco, who has been left out of Spain's Euro 2016 squad, stressing the club have not spoken to Juve about any players, with Paul Pogba and Alvaro Morata said to be of interest to the European champions.

"Isco is a Real Madrid player and he is not leaving," Zidane said in Turin as he opened a new football academy.
"We have just finished the season and haven't had time to talk about the market or any players who may be of interest to Juventus."
Zidane divulged he was open to the prospect of coaching former club Juve in the future, as well as the France national team.
"There is a special feeling with Juve, so you never know. One day I may return to Turin in the dugout," he said. "I would also like to be France coach one day, but we will see.
