Isco Alarcon Opens Up About Future Plans and Regrets in Candid Interview

Former Real Madrid and Sevilla star, Isco Alarcon, recently sat down for an honest and insightful interview with Marca, where he discussed his time at both clubs and shared his aspirations for the future.

During the interview’s second part, Isco revealed his desire to move abroad this summer, prioritizing a new experience in a different league and the opportunity to learn another language. Remaining open to various possibilities, he expressed his eagerness to continue playing football and personal growth outside of Spain, highlighting his free agent status following his departure from Sevilla and failed move to Union Berlin in January.

Isco also disclosed his unfulfilled ambition, expressing his longing to achieve success with the national team. Despite his achievements with Real Madrid, including winning multiple titles, he expressed a sense of regret for not having the opportunity to participate in major international tournaments such as the UEFA Euros.

Reflecting on his time at Real Madrid, Isco acknowledged a crucial moment when he should have sought a new path. Specifically, he identified the summer following Julen Lopetegui’s departure and Santi Solari’s arrival as the turning point when he felt marginalized within the team. Isco shared his frustration at the lack of explanations regarding his reduced playing time, even after approaching Solari directly. Recounting instances where he was left out of matches and relegated to the stands, he expressed disappointment in the lack of support from the club. Looking back, Isco recognized that leaving Madrid would have been the right decision.

The 31-year-old player explained the difficulty of departing from Real Madrid due to his belief in his ability to overcome challenges. He recalled previous seasons when the club informed him of offers from other teams or the potential signing of players in his position, but he always chose to compete and prove his worth. However, this time, Isco acknowledged that the situation was different, and in hindsight, he should have made the decision to leave.

Additionally, Isco previously mentioned being approached by Barcelona for a potential transfer and detailed his departure from Sevilla, which involved a physical altercation with Monchi, the club’s sporting director.

Isco’s candid interview provides a glimpse into his mindset and offers insights into the challenges and decisions he faced during his career, both on and off the field.
