Malaga midfielder Isco has admitted that he is aware of interest from Real Madrid, but said he has not yet made any decision on his future.
.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a host of top clubs around Europe after inspiring Malaga to the Champions League quarterfinals this season, but he is determined to ensure he will play a significant role wherever he ends up.
.
"It is a very important decision for my future and I don't want to make a mistake," he told reporters as the Spanish Under-21 squad met up for the first time ahead of next month's European Championships.
.
"I have doubts because I want to play, wherever it may be, and that is the most important thing for me.
.
Afterwards I don't want to lament not having enjoyed enough minutes.
.
"I said goodbye to La Rosaleda on a good note and it was very emotional.
.
"It is true they have met with Real Madrid and that there is interest, but right now I am concentrating on the under 21s and no one knows yet what the future will hold."
.
Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini has already confirmed that he will leave the club in the summer with the Chilean strongly linked to take over at Manchester City next season.
.
And Isco didn't rule out the possibility of linking up with Pellegrini once more in Manchester.
.
"Pellegrini has told me he likes me a lot and that is an honour for me.
.
"He has been my footballing father. I know he loves me and of course I would love to continue with him because he gives me all the confidence in the world."
.
However, the former Valencia man also confirmed the language barrier may put him off a move to England as he doesn't yet speak good English.
Real madrid are not just joking with next season's competitions. Neymar's refusal must have spurred them on.
