Isco ‘not remotely thinking about’ leaving Real Madrid for Chelsea, or anywhere else

The Eden Hazard to Real Madrid rumours are of the undying kind. They probably won’t even end if he signs his contract extension with Chelsea.

The latest version involves a couple player swaps, with Isco and Mateo Kovačić coming Chelsea’s way while Eden would head in the opposite direction.

While Kovačić, who’s already on loan for the season at Chelsea would love to become a Chelsea player on a permanent basis, Isco is not a lot less keen. In fact, despite not featuring as often this season as in seasons past, he remains very happy at Real Madrid.

“I am not remotely thinking about leaving Real Madrid in the January transfer window, as I am very happy here.”

“My objective is to continue winning many more titles with Real Madrid.”

Not much room left for interpretation there! Isco wants to stay and doesn’t want to leave.

Things can always change quickly in football, but we can safely rule out Isco-to-Chelsea for the foreseeable future, both on its own merits and as part of any potential Hazard deal.
