Seville presents a "lifeline" to the former Real Madrid star
Sevilla club announced today that it has reached a preliminary agreement to include playmaker and midfielder Isco for the next two seasons, after the Spanish international became a free player since late June after the end of his contract with Real Madrid.
"We have reached a preliminary agreement with Isco, so that the Andalusian midfielder will become our third deal in this window," a statement from the Andalusian club said on its official website.
He continued, "The striker is in Seville to undergo a medical examination on Monday. If all goes well, he will sign a contract for the next two seasons," after the link that linked him with the Royal Club ended on June 30.
This is the third deal for Sevilla, the fourth in the league last season, this summer after the center of the Brazilian defense Marcao from Galatasaray and his compatriot left back Alex Telles, who arrived on loan from Manchester United.
Isco will meet again with coach Julen Lopetegui, who supervised him at Spain (2016-2018) and Real Madrid (2018).
He is no longer part of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti's plans, who did not use him much last season, as well as injuries to his back, and he was satisfied with 17 games, including only three of them.
But he was a pivotal player in the team of French coach Zinedine Zidane, who made history when he won the Champions League three times in a row between 2016 and 2018.
Isco, who in 2012 won the "Golden Boy" award for the best player in Europe under the age of 21, announced last May that he would leave Real Madrid after nine years in the capital, during which he won 19 titles, including three in the domestic league (2017, 2020 and 2022). and five in the Champions League (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022).
