# Isco hints at Real Madrid unrest

Chelsea target Isco has spoken of his unrest at playing for Real Madrid, whilst playing for Spain.

Isco grabbed a hat-trick as Spain demolished Argentina in a 6-1 thrashing this week.

The Spanish playmaker admitted after the game that he plays with freedom for his country, as he feels restricted in a Real Madrid shirt.

He feels that he does not have the confidence or backing of Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.

This admission comes as a massive boost to Chelsea, who are reportedly looking to sign Isco this summer.

Antonio Conte wants to strengthen his attacking options and sees Isco as a potential addition when the window reopens.

[As quoted by TeamTalk, Isco said this:](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/man-city-man-utd-chelsea-target-isco-reveals-his-dismay-at-zidane)

> In Madrid I don’t have the confidence a player needs.

> The matches with the national team give me life. Here I have the confidence of the coach.

> I want to show that I’m a good player. Lopetegui shows me confidence with the minutes he gives me.

> Maybe I’m the problem in Madrid. I don’t know how to win Zidane’s confidence.

Isco has a £614m release clause in his Real Madrid contract, lasting until 2022, after he signed a new contract last year.

However, Real look like they would be willing to sell for far, far, cheaper in the summer.
