MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid have included a 700 million euro (£630.87 million) buy-out clause in playmaker Isco’s new five-year contract, designed to prevent a repeat of the Neymar situation experienced by Barcelona, local media reported on Thursday.

Real's rivals Barca were caught off-guard when Paris St Germain triggered the 222 million euro buy-out clause in Neymar's contract, which paved the way for the Brazil striker to move to the French club in August.
