Isco is a 34-year-old attacking midfielder at Real Betis, rated 13.7 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.4 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Isco.

On the season, Isco graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 1 assist in 8 appearances (0.789 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14. At 34 Isco is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 8 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.79 goal contributions per 90 (0.4 goals, 0.4 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.7 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.79 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
