Manchester City target Isco has admitted that he does not know if he will still be a Malaga player at the end of the season.
The 20-year-old Spain international has been a big hit this season with the Spanish Primera Division side as they have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and are sixth in the domestic table.
Isco's form for Malaga has attracted the attentions of several top European clubs, including City, while Chelsea and Real Madrid are also potential suitors.
Therefore boss Roberto Mancini would face a difficult task in trying to lure the youngster to the Etihad Stadium, while the long-term contract he penned at the end of January has a massive buy-out clause in it.
But, despite recently pledging his future to Malaga, Isco has now hinted that there is a possibility he could depart in the summer transfer window by claiming he does not know where his future lies.
"Nobody knows (about the future)," he told El Pais. "I am here now, tomorrow we'll see.
"I've been a Malaga fan since I was small. I was a junior club member before I left for Valencia (in 2006), and I am very happy to be here now and learning a lot.
"We will see what happens next. It is not something that does not concern me a lot right now. I am enjoying my life at the moment.
"I arrived here aged 19, just a boy. I know I am only at the beginning in football. [Manuel] Pellegrini tells me just to play my football, to get on the ball and link up with my teammates.
"He has given me all the confidence in the world."
