Real Madrid midfielder Isco has announced he will leave the club in the summer when his contract expires.
The 30-year-old joined Madrid from Malaga in 2013, and made almost 250 appearances for the side.
A much-feted signing on arrival, Isco’s initial years at Madrid were highly successful.
The Spanish international featured in a side who won three Champions League trophies between 2013 and 2018. However, he was less integral in recent seasons.
Writing on Instagram, Isco said: “Real Madrid knocked on my door and Real Madrid cannot and should not be told no, although there are always exceptions.
“I remember telling my people Madrid hasn't won the Champions League for many years, and I have a feeling that it's about to change and (then) La Decima arrived, everything that comes after is already history.
“Nine years later my time at the club that has made it possible for me to fulfill all the dreams I had when I was little comes to an end.
“I want to thank my teammates, coaches, coaching staff, physios, kit men, workers at Valdebebas and Santiago Bernabeu for all the work, love and support that everyone needs and that I have never lacked.
“I also want to thank the fans who welcomed me in an incredible way from the first day and who accompany this team in every corner of the world!
“Goodbye and Hala Madrid.”
In total, Isco won five Champions League trophies and three La Liga titles while at Madrid. He did not play on Saturday, where Madrid won their 14th European Cup after defeating Liverpool 1-0.
