In a week that has seen Isco linked with a potential move to fierce rivals Barcelona, Real Madrid have made their move and offered the midfielder a six-year contract extension.
The 24-year-old is the subject of interest from other clubs due to the fact his current deal is set to expire in June 2018.
Heading into the final 12 months of the deal presents the club with all sorts of problems and it is little surprise Los Blancos have moved to secure the future of one of their younger stars.
It is no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema aren't going to be around forever and at some stage creative responsibility has to be handed to the former Malaga playmaker.
Manchester City have twice tried to sign him and if he were to leave the Spanish capital there would undoubtedly be clubs queuing up to make the Spaniard an offer.
This is what has forced Real Madrid's hand and they have put an offer worth six million euros per year on the table which would run until June 2024.
At that point Isco would be 32 years old and the contract, in theory, guarantees the club his best years.
Zinedine Zidane hasn't quite been able to use him on too regular a basis this term but there is very much a feeling that if he is patient, he will soon be a regular starter.
This is reflected by the offer which would rather sensationally triple his current salary and catapult him into the upper echelon of Los Blancos' wage structure.
Despite having only started 13 LaLiga matches this term, a return of six goals and five assists is incredibly impressive and it is little surprise the club have absolutely no interest in allowing Isco to leave.
