It was one of the most interesting signings of this market closing.

Isco Alarcón

, once his time at

Sevilla

had finished , had packed his bags to sign for

Unión Berlin

, one of the great revelations of the season in Europe.

The Germans, second ranked in the

Bundesliga

just one point

behind Bayern

and still alive in the fight for the

Europa League

this season, offered the Andalusian midfielder a contract until the end of the

2023-2024 campaign

.

Or so thought the former

Real Madrid

player and his environment, now directed by

Jorge Mendes

under his company

Gestifute.

As this newspaper has learned, upon arriving at the offices of the German team to sign his new contract, Isco and his representatives found a different wording than what was agreed: they offered him an agreement until the end of the current season and they did not register him in the squad that is playing in the

Europa League.

The agents of the footballer from

Benalmádena

refused this situation and the negotiations broke down.

"

We wanted to have Isco in Berlin, but we have our limits.

These were exceeded today, contrary to the previous agreement. The agreement is not going to be made," said

Oliver Ruhnert

, sports director of the Union Berlin, in a statement through the club website.

Therefore Isco, who

had already passed a medical examination

with the German team and was preparing for the first stage of his sports career outside of Spanish football, is now without a team with only a few hours to go before the closing of the market.

At

30 years old

and at what should be the ideal age to find his football, the Andalusian continues downhill.

Even if the market closes, the footballer could reach another club as a free agent, but his options will be limited by the

lack of flexibility of the teams

since they cannot release any player.

This summer, Isco was already without a team for a month after parting ways with Madrid in June and signing for Sevilla in August, a group with which he broke ties on December 23, more than a month ago.

In recent years, Isco

's market value

has dropped from

90 million in 2018

to 30 million in 2020 and the

9

million at which his talent is currently valued.

With Sevilla he played

19 games

, 11 of them as a starter, scored one goal and distributed two assists in

1,265 minutes

.
