Official: Isco will leave Real Madrid in summer

star

confirmed his departure from the club in the summer by posting a text on Instagram.

The Spanish midfielder spent nine seasons in Madrid and won several honors with the team, but Los Blancos decided not to extend his contract and will now leave the team as a free agent. With Real Madrid, he won five Champions League titles and three La Liga titles, but in recent seasons he has not lived up to expectations and has been mostly on the bench. Now he said goodbye to the fans on his Instagram and thanked them and the club.

He wrote:

"When I was in Malaga and knew I had to leave I made a commitment to join another team, but Real Madrid called and you just can’t say no, although there are always exceptions .

I remember telling my people “damn, Madrid haven’t won the Champions for years but I sense it’s coming,” and then La Decima came and all the the rest is history.

Nine years later my stage in the club that made my dreams come true ends. Other than achieving these dreams, winning more titles than I could imagine and play alongside the best players: I HAD A GREAT F****** TIME AND NOBODY CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!

Because no doubt I will remember the good things and I hope you do too!

I want to thank my teammates, coaches, therapists, workers at Valdebebas and the Bernabeu for all the work and support that everyone needs and that I never lacked. Also want to thank the fans because they welcomed me from the first day.

By the way, last night I told a friend that I don’t know why the workers are dismantling the structure at Cibeles because the 15th is coming!

See you forever and Hala Madrid!"

Isco is also expected to join Julen Lopetegui at

if his former coach stays with the club.
