“Nine years later, my time at this club is coming to an end”: Spanish international midfielder Isco announced on Instagram on Monday his departure from Real Madrid, a club he joined in 2013 and with which he won the Champions League Saturday. At 30 and at the end of the contract on June 30, Isco leaves Real with a whopping 19 titles, including 3 Spanish Championships (2017, 2020 and 2022), a Spanish Cup (2014) and 5 Champions Leagues (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022). “When I was in Malaga I knew I was going to leave. I signed up with another club, but Real Madrid knocked on my door. And you can’t and you shouldn’t say no to Real Madrid, although there are always exceptions,” Isco began to explain with a turtle emoticon.

A thinly veiled allusion to Kylian Mbappé, often challenged in this way on the Internet for his alleged resemblance to the Ninja Turtles, and who decided to refuse Real Madrid’s offer to extend to Paris Saint-Germain until 2025 “The Decima arrived (the 10th European Cup won by Real Madrid, in 2014, editor’s note), and everything that followed is history,” continued Isco on Instagram. “Nine years later, my time at the club that made it possible for all my childhood dreams to come true is coming to an end,” he continued before concluding: “I don’t understand why they’re already putting the party away in Cibeles, if the 15th European Cup is already on the way! Hala Madrid”.
The Golden Boy 2012 (trophy rewarding the best European player under 21), very little used this season, gave no clues about his future.
