The Spanish playmaker is expected to leave Real Madrid this summer.

Arsenal and AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid outcast Isco.

The 29-year-old might leave the Spanish capital this summer after being said to have rejected a contract extension.

Isco has become a fringe player at Madrid over the last few seasons, failing to nail down a starting place.

With facing an uncertain future with Los Blancos, the 29-year-old could look for green pastures where he can revitalise his career.

That being said, Premier League club Arsenal and Serie A giants Milan are keeping tabs on Isco and could attempt to sign him this summer.

The Gunners are in the market for midfield reinforcements as Mikel Arteta aims to make the club a top-four contender next season.

Milan are continuing their search for an attacking midfielder following the departure of Hakan Calhanoglu and looks to have identified Isco as a perfect fit.

Besides the Spaniard, Rossoneri have shortlisted players like Hakim Ziyech and Philippe Coutinho as the top targets.

Milan ended as the runners up of Serie A last season and secured a place in the Champions League after a long time. Stefano Pioli is looking to have a highly competitive squad ahead of next season.

It has been added Isco’s salary could be an obstacle for his suitors as he currently earns around €7m per year at the Spanish capital.

Both Arsenal and Milan need new faces in the midfield, but it remains to be seen where Isco would eventually land.
