Newcastle United are interested in free agent Isco.

The Spain international came off contract at Real Madrid yesterday.

AS says a move abroad is now likely for Isco, with Newcastle and AS Roma both in contact.

The Spaniard's future is 'likely to lay' between the Magpies or Jose Mourinho's side.

Isco's nine-year stay with Madrid came to an end this summer after the club opted against handing him a new deal.
