Former Real Madrid midfielder Julio Baptista says Isco should stay.

The midfielder continues to be linked with a summer move away as he battles to gain first-choice status under coach Zinedine Zidane.

"I believe that Isco must stay," Baptista told Radio Marca.

"We are talking about a unique club like Real Madrid. He signed for Real Madrid, he must find a place and try to make history."

Isco was superb, scoring twice in victory at Sporting Gijon on Saturday.
