ZINEDINE ZIDANE has shot down reports claiming he’s planning to sell star man Isco.
It’s been claimed that a number of players could be heading out of the door this summer if Zidane is kept on as Real Madrid boss.
Leading the way was believed to be 25-year-old Isco, who has apparently disappointed Zidane with his poor performances after signing a lucrative contract in September.
Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are all said to be extremely interested in the playmaker.
While the likes of Juventus and Bayern Munich are also believed to be keeping tabs on the situation.
However, Zidane is adamant he will not axe Isco, insisting that the former Malaga man remains a key part of his plans for the future.
Zidane said: “You were all asking before why I did not want to sign players in January.
“It is because I believe in my team. When I begin something, I go to the death with what I have.

“I want Isco to spend all his career here. That will not change. He is a very good footballer.
“He has shown that and can always show that, so [the report] is a lie. I am happy you asked me so I can answer this.”
