Embarrassed Chelsea target Isco ‘refusing to let Real Madrid staff weigh him as he is 4.5kg overweight’

ISCO is reportedly refusing to let Real Madrid weigh him after allegedly becoming overweight.
The tubby Chelsea midfield target has had his fair share of problems at the Bernabeu this term and he was frozen out of the first team by Santiago Solari.
Under Solari, Isco appeared to have put on timber despite vigorously defending accusations that he was out of shape.
Isco famously took to social media in December after a row with Solari about his weight to publish a picture of himself with his shirt off and the caption: ‘Am I fat?’
Solari had been strict during his time in charge of Real Madrid and Isco fell out with him after not meeting his extremely high standards.
But according to Spanish paper , Isco is supposedly 4.5kg over weight.
It is also said that he was reluctant to take the scales to weigh himself.
Solari explained last month before he was sacked why Isco was not a part of his plans.
He said: “Disciplinary issues are handled internally.
“To play, you have to be in the right physical shape first and then you have to maintain it.”

But having been linked with a move to Chelsea, now Isco will be hoping to make an impression under Solari's successor Zinedine Zidane.
Real are already planning a summer splurge with Chelsea star Eden Hazard their top target, so Isco does not have long to convince Bernabeu chiefs they do not need the Belgian playmaker.
Isco started in Zidane’s first game back in charge of Real and he was on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo last weekend.
