Isco hints at new Real Madrid contract

After an imperious display against Sporting Gijon, the playmaker has insisted he wishes to remain with the LaLiga giants.

Isco hinted that he could sign a contract extension with Real Madrid after his two-goal heroics against Sporting Gijon.

The Spain playmaker has struggled for regular game time under Zinedine Zidane this season and has been frequently linked with a stunning move to Madrid's fierce rivals Barcelona - rumours exacerbated by a Catalan-themed packet of crisps that made its way into the 24-year-old's social media feeds recently.

Madrid twice fought back from a goal down against the relegation-threatened side at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, before Isco's 90th-minute winner kept them on track for a first league title since 2012.
