According to information from “Sky”, the former Real Madrid star Isco will sign a contract with Union Berlin on Tuesday. This should be valid until 2024 and contain an option for another year.
There has been speculation for a few days that the Spaniard, who has been without a club since the end of December, will move to the Bundesliga.
Isco, who was last under contract with Sevilla FC, would be by far the most spectacular newcomer to the Unioners, who have only been first-class since 2019, as a 38-time Spain international, five-time Champions League winner, four-time Club World Cup champion and also three-time Spanish champion.
However, Isco, who had led the Spanish U21 to the European Championship title in 2013, did not last long at his last stop. After just four months, his contract with Sevilla FC – actually valid until mid-2024 – was terminated. There was no official information about the reasons for this.
Isco moved to Real Madrid from his native Andalusia from FC Málaga in the summer of 2013 and played there until the end of June last year. The attacking midfielder was a teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo and the German 2014 World Champion Toni Kroos.
