The Spain international has slipped down the pecking order at the Bernabeu since the return of Zinedine Zidane last season.
Isco has made just 13 appearances in the Spanish top flight this term, starting just three under Ancelotti, and spent the majority as an unused substitute in Real Madrid’s Champions League trip to the final.

“Isco’s career with Real Madrid ends today,” he told reporters, via Goal. And it’s been a great race.
