Isco "very close" on signing new Real Madrid deal

Real Madrid midfielder Isco has revealed he is "very close" on signing new contract extension after declaring himself happy with the La Liga champions. 

Isco has repeatedly insisted on his desire to commit to Madrid, despite reports claiming he is not ready to sign a new deal which his current one expires in the next 12 months.. 

The Spaniard again proved his worth to Madrid on Tuesday night by netting the key second goal in his side's 2-1 win over Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup, building on his impressive end to the 2016-17 campaign.

Probed on how close he is to agreeing fresh terms, the 25-year-old told reporters: "It will be done soon, we're very close."

On the tight match at the Philip II Arena in Skopje, he added: "Madrid is a very powerful team and we are happy. We played very well as a team and we winning is our obligation.

"United are very good, but we were the best team and we have a spectacular squad with a promising future. The staff are doing a great job, we do not fail because of the relationship in the dressing room. We've built a winning group."

Isco started 18 La Liga games for champions Madrid last season, while also featuring 12 times from the bench.
