Malaga sports chief Francesc Arnau says they won't give up on bringing Isco back from Real Madrid.

The midfielder did seriously consider re-signing for his old club last month.

And Arnau stated: "You all know the love that we have for him here.

"He's like our child and we will always have our doors open whenever the situation permits.

"On the possibilities of coming here, you'll have to ask why this has come more from the environment of Madrid than from Malaga..."
