Isco will remain at Real Madrid after a phone conversation with Rafael Benitez to discuss his future with the club.

Isco lost his place in Real Madrid's XI when Luka Modric and James Rodriguez returned from injury and he's not expected to start in Benitez's 4-2-3-1 formation.

There have been talks of a reunion with Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City as the two worked together at Malaga.

Isco's concerns about his place with Real Madrid have been soothed by Benitez.
