Free of any contract after a complicated experience at Sevilla FC and an abortive departure at Union Berlin, Isco (31) is in the trough. The attacking midfielder won five Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, however, had golden moments with the merengue club. During an interview for brandhe explained that he received an approach from FC Barcelona as he came one year from the end of his contract in 2018. Nevertheless, he extended at the time and refused the approach of Josep Maria Bartomeu.

“Bartomeu called me and with what he was paying at that time… But I was very well in Madrid, with my teammates, with an incredible atmosphere in the dressing room… It was the team of my dreams, in which I had won what I dreamed of… I was not going to leave Madrid for all the gold in the world. The city is also beautiful. As I enjoyed Madrid, I knew I wasn’t going to enjoy it anywhere else.” explained the one who has 38 appearances and 12 goals with La Roja.
