However, Zidane has labelled those recent reports as lies and expressed his happiness with Isco.

"I'm glad you've asked me. I was asked before [during the January transfer window] why weren't we going to sign anyone," Zidane told reporters, according to FourFourTwo.

"I said I've always believed in my team and I will do until the very end. When I start something I get involved, I believe where I'm going, what I should be doing and I back the people I'm working with.

"Isco's one of them. He a very good footballer. He's proven that in the past and will do that again

"I want Isco [in my team] and I want him to spend his whole life here.

"It's a lie that I want Isco to be sold in the summer. Hopefully we won't hear any more of this."
