Isco could make way for Eden Hazard this summer

Isco lost his starting place after Santiago Solari replaced Julen Lopetegui in October and his playing time did not improve much more following Zidanes reappointment in March. With Mbappe, Hazard and Christian Eriksen on the clubs radar, the Spain midfielder could find it even harder to work his way back into favour.
