Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane 'to offload Isco this summer'

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is reportedly keen to offload midfielder Isco this summer.

The Spaniard has dropped down the pecking order at Los Blancos since Gareth Bale's return from injury, and his coach has deemed him surplus to requirements, according to AS.

Zidane is said to have been disappointed by Isco's lack of consistency since James Rodriguez's loan move to Bayern Munich paved the way for him to claim game time.

Manchester City are among the clubs to have been linked with the Spain international in the past, though it is unclear whether the Sky Blues are planning to lodge a bid for him this summer.

Zidane is expected to overhaul his Real side at the end of the season following a disappointing La Liga title defence, which has seen his side struggle to remain within the top four.
