Liverpool are chasing Real Madrid midfielder Isco. Isco is being linked to a Real departure with Toni Kroos and potentially James Rodriguez both arriving to increase competition for midfield places.

AS says Liverpool, Sevilla and AC Milan have all been in contact with Real to register their interest.

For his part, Isco wants to stay and fight for his place.

"He is sure about next season," said a friend.
