Juventus news: Solari drops Isco hint amid rumours of Madrid exit

06 dic 2018

It has been reported in recent weeks that Juventus, as well as Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, are interested in signing Real Madrid’s Spanish playmaker Isco. The Spaniard has somewhat fallen out of favour under new Real Madrid head coach Santiago Solari, who took over from Julen Lopetegui after the Spaniard’s poor start to the season.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has expressed a desire to retain Isco yet the midfielder is yet to start a single game under Solari. Speaking ahead of Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey clash with Melilla, Solari commented on the reports and speculation surrounding Isco and his place in the Spanish capital:

“Your job (referring to journalists) is to always discuss who does not play. Football can mean a bad performance or a negative run of form. My job is not to make the wrong choices. All of us are in question, there are no untouchables.”
