Isco’s relationship with Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari has deteriorated significantly this season to the point that the situation is now ‘irreversible’, according to reports in Spain. The 26-year-old is yet to start a La Liga match since Solari took over the reins from Julen Lopetegui back in October and is expected to leave the club in the summer.
Chelsea and Manchester City are both being heavily linked with Isco as the Spain international looks for an escape route out of the Bernabeu. It’s understood he could be available for a fee of around £75million. According to AS, Solari has lost all confidence in Isco with the attacking midfielder making no secret of his grievances.
Isco refused to shake Solari’s hand following Madrid’s 3-0 defeat to Eibar back in November and also ‘liked’ a Twitter comment slamming his manager last month. The report adds that Isco has put on weight in recent months and Solari has completely run out of patience with the former Malaga star.

Solari da por perdido a Isco
El técnico cree que la situación del malagueño es irreversible. Además, la irrupción de Vinicius y el buen momento de Lucas Vázquez, son otro obstáculo para al malagueño.

Solari gives up on Isco as 'lost'
The manager believes that the situation of the malagueño (a man from Málaga province) is irreversible. In addition, the eruption of Vinicius onto the scene and the good moments coming from Lucas Vázquez are further obstacles in the path of the Málaga province-born player.
