Liverpool transfer blow! Isco not interested in leaving Real Madrid for Anfield

Liverpool target Isco is happy to stay at Real Madrid and fight for his place even if the club signs World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez.

Madrid have already completed the signing of Bayern Munich's Toni Kroos and the arrival of Rodriguez would only add to the competition for places.

Liverpool are said to be keen on Isco and could offer the 22-year-old midfield star regular first-team football.

However, despite the interest of Liverpool, Marca are reporting that Isco is content to stay at Madrid and fight for his place.

Madrid are also thought to be eager to keep hold of the attacking midfielder, who scored 11 goals last season after joining from Malaga for £24million.
