Casemiro wants 'fantastic' Isco at Real Madrid 'for many years'

Isco is a fantastic player who should be retained by Real Madrid "for many years", team-mate Casemiro said after his starring role in Sunday's 2-1 win over Malaga.

With Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Champions League saviour Cristiano Ronaldo all rested, Isco starred inspired his side to the three points in La Liga.

Isco opened the scoring with a superb free-kick and then teed up Casemiro for a clinching second after the interval, although Diego Rolan hit a consolation with the last kick of the game.

The Spain international seems to have usurped Bale in Zinedine Zidane's preferred XI, but Isco's future at Madrid has not always appeared set in stone.
