Barcelona president Jose Maria Bartomeu has announced that he would first contact Real Madrid leaders before making a bid to transfer Spanish midfielder Isco.
For the departure of Isco from the Santiago Bernabeu has been speculating since the end of October, when Santiago Solari came to the position of coach. The Argentine coach does not trust Isco and activates him only in the least important games for a few minutes at the end.
The 26-year-old, whose contract ends in 2020, has made only five appearances for Real Madrid this season, and is activated from the bench in ten other games.
He has been regular in this King’s Cup match, which suggests he can play in the match against Barcelona, ??which will take place tonight at 21:00 in Camp Nou.
“If our coaches are looking for a player and that player wants to leave Real Madrid, then of course we would transfer him. But that did not happen during the time I was here, “said Bartomeu.
“There is no pact between us. Everyone tries to make their team better, more competitive. Isco? For Real Madrid’s sake, I would first talk to Real Madrid president [Florentino Perez].
A close friend of the missing Argentinian footballer has said the striker was forced to board the plane, despite his advice not to be of the cause of the bad weather. The plane was found at the end of the English Canal, as well as a body that has not yet been identified.
The plane traveling by Emiliano Sala and pilot David Ibbotson to Cardiff from Nates was found 63 meters below the water, after disappearing over the English Channel two weeks ago, and later found a body, but a friend of Sala now has caused controversy with his statements.
Maxim Maximilian Duarte, associate of Sala, claimed that he had advised Argentina not to fly by plane that night because of the bad weather.
He says someone is guilty in this case, because Sala did not want to board the plane.
“There is a blame for this, since Emiliano did not want to board the plane. That evening, I advised him to give up because of weather conditions,” Duarte said.
