Isco rules out signing for Barcelona... and kicks off Clasico countdown
The Madrid man had uploaded a photo relating to Barça which he had to delete
He then took to Twitter to say he was not going to move to the Catalan club
Isco caused a stir on Thursday when he uploaded a photograph to Instagram alongside a packet of Barcelona potato crisps.
The Real Madrid man quickly removed the image, but the damage was done and the speculation soon followed.
Close to midnight, though, Isco finally responded by posting a short message on Twitter, denying that his intention is to leave Madrid for Barça and getting the motors running ahead of this months Clasico at the Bernabeu on Apr. 23.
He wrote: "I am not going to Barça!! With the photo I wanted to say that we're going to eat them (in the Clasico) with potato crisps #HalaMadrid!!"
And he added: "I haven't even tried them [the crisps]. It was my friend that put them there to wind me up."

Whatever the truth, the story is warming up. We will see what happens in the future, with Isco's contract up next summer and there little movement on talks to renew his deal yet.
