Malaga’s sporting director has made clear that Isco will shortly be signing a new contract at the club, but refused to rule out his possible sale in the future.
The youngster has caught the eye this season and in recent months has both been linked with a number of European club and in talks with Malaga over an improved contract, for one thing to up his €21m buyout clause.
“Very soon we will be at a separate news conference presenting his renewal. If he has renewed it then he would be sitting here with us,” sporting director Mario Husillos told reporters this week.
“He soon will. He is a flag bearer of this club and wants to continue here. We understand that the signing of the contract is almost secured.
“Any subsequent sale? We are speaking of things that in football we cannot foresee. Life takes many turns. No, nothing had been hinted about Isco, Toulalan, Demichelis, nor is any player certain to stay.”
Husillos also commented that Malaga remain in the transfer market this winter, but that even he does not know for certain what will happen in the final few days of the window.
