The ex-Malaga star is tied down at Los Blancos until 2022, but he is determined to challenge himself in another league.

His father and agent Paco Alarcon told radio show El Larguero: “Right now, we have no offers.

“But Isco wants to try another league.”

He then insisted that Isco would be willing to wait until next summer in order to force through a move.

Paco added: “Staying in Madrid would not be a problem.”

It has been claimed that Real would be willing to sell the player should they receive a fee in the region of £45million.

Reports from Spain have also stated that Isco could leave on a loan deal with an option to buy in January.

Isco has made 314 appearances for Madrid since joining in 2013, but he hasn’t made at least 20 starts in LaLiga since the 2017-18 campaign.

Arsenal are desperate to sign a creative midfielder in the New Year having scored just nine goals in as many games in the Premier League this term.

Red Bull Salzburg ace Dominik Szoboszlai has been heavily linked with a switch to the Emirates as he boasts just a £22.5m release clause in his contract.
