Real Madrid midfielder Isco has been linked with a move to Chelsea this summer but Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has urged Isco to stay at Real Madrid.

Isco started and scored in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Deportivo Alaves yesterday.

“I want him to renew, he is an important player,” Zidane was quoted as saying by Marca.

“He wants to stay here, to play here. I am happy with his performance, not only for the goal but for what he did between the lines, what he helped others do.

“When Isco plays, he does well but we have 24 players and they are all important.”
