Santiago Solari 'gives up on Isco'

Real Madrid boss Santiago Solari has reportedly 'given up' on struggling attacker Isco.

Isco recently claimed that he 'does not receive the same opportunities' as his teammates, which led to a defiant response from Solari, who questioned the Spaniard's professionalism.

The 26-year-old has struggled for regular action since Solari replaced Julen Lopetegui as head coach of Madrid, while he has found the back of the net just once in La Liga this term.

According to AS, Solari has 'lost all confidence' in the Spain international, which is expected to lead to a summer exit.

The report has claimed that Madrid want £75m for Isco, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Juventus among the clubs to be linked with his services over the last few months.

The former Malaga playmaker missed Wednesday's Champions League last-16 first leg with Ajax due to a back problem, but has trained ahead of his team's clash with Girona on Sunday morning.
