Pep eyes move for Real Madrid’s unhappy Isco
Manchester City are ready to test Real Madrid’s resolve with a lucrative offer for Isco, according to AS. The Malaga-born midfielder has been out-of-favour since Santiago Solari took charge of Los Blancos and has even been subjected to boos from the Bernabeu faithful for the first time.
City boss Pep Guardiola is an admirer of Isco and it is believed that the ex-Barcelona manager would be a significant draw for the player, who has a contract until 2022 and a mouth-watering minimum release clause of £630 million.
However, given the Spain international’s unique situation, Madrid president Florentino Perez may be willing to negotiate. However, it is likely that the Etihad club would need to better the £100m that Juventus paid for Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.
