Ancelotti's arrival at Real Madrid drastically changes the future prospects for some first-team players. To some, for the worse. For example, Bale, who was one of the triggers for the Italian coach's departure in his first stage. To others, for the better, like Isco, how important it was for the successes achieved by Ancelotti from 2013 to 2015. The one from Arroyo de la Miel even celebrated his hiring on social media. He liked the technician's Instagram post announcing his return. Instead, he did not say goodbye to Zidane.
As AS has learned from sources very close to Isco, the Malaga player is, indeed, excited about the change on the bench. Although it is true that in the middle of last season he spoke with the club asking to leave, already before Ancelotti's arrival, when Zidane's departure had been consummated, the player had decided to wait to see what new coach arrived, talk to him to find out his intentions and then make the decision. That is the roadmap that the fine Real Madrid player will follow.
To this day, Isco has no offer to leave Real Madrid. In reality, neither he nor any other player on the squad has it. The man from Malaga has a contract with Real Madrid until 2022 and his salary is close to six million euros net. With 29 years and a family trained in Madrid, the best option for Isco is to stay in the capital, where he feels very comfortable. If Ancelotti confirms that he starts with the same options as the rest (something that did not happen with Zidane), the midfielder wants to rush his options to continue being important at Real Madrid.
SIf that happened, that he began to have minutes regularly, all options would be open to him. He is presented with a new horizon ahead, as he would revalue himself to have a chance of finding a good contract (the last great contract of his career) when he can go free in the summer of 2022. The intention of Madrid, however, is very different. The club is hopeful that a good offer will come in for him now and that he can raise a handful of millions to help finance other operations. But, one way or another, Ancelotti has changed Isco's future.
