Isco admits Barcelona made contact

Real Madrid midfielder Isco admits he had contact with Barcelona over the summer.

Isco penned new terms with Real yesterday.

"There was some contact but I never listened to it, my intention was always to succeed here in a team that had confidence in me, I want to consolidate my position as a starter and win many titles," Isco revealed.

Negotiations over the renewal, which includes a 700 million euro buy-out clause, have been ongoing for a number of months although this is largely because Isco wanted to focus on football.

"The timing is merely anecdotal, I could have renewed last year but I wanted to be focused on the season, I was always determined to re-sign," said Isco
