Real Madrid attacking midfielder Isco Alarcon is ready to force a move away from Santiago Bernabeu in January, according to reports in Spain.
The Spaniard have been benched in their Champions League opener against Sporting Lisbon and have also missed Euro 2016 due to lack of playing time at Real Madrid which is adding to his growing frustration at the club.
The 24-year old was one of the best young attackers in entire Europe when he joined Read Madrid in 2013 but life has not been easy for the midfielder at the club. He has fallen down the pecking order under manager Zinedine Zidane and found it hard to break into the first team.
Isco has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League in summer but the move never materialised with the likes of Manchester Untied, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur all linked with the talented midfielder.
However, Spanish newspaper Sport claims that Real Madrid are still open in listening to offers for the Spaniard as they are keen to offload him if a potential offer comes in January window.
The 24-year old has had a frustrating season so far as he managed a mere 83 minutes so far and could be shown the exit door sooner or later despite Real Madrid facing a ban in signing new players till January 2018.
Arsenal and United have done decent business in the summer and have plenty of option in the attacking midfield, but Tottenham Hotspur are still struggling in this area as Isco could be a possible solution for their problems.
Spurs were linked with a deadline day loan move for the Spaniard but the North Londoners late interest have made Real Madrid keep hold of their player by the time the window closed. Spurs then went on to Moussa Sissoko in the last hours as they pulled off a dramatic transfer. However, the club are determined to sign Isco as Real Madrid are not happy with the form of the Spaniard.
