Manchester City are expected to win the battle for Isco’s signature ahead of Real Madrid. Isco has indicated that he is willing to join a club which would offer him Champions League . As reports suggest, Isco may leave for a fee of £30M.
Isco, who will surely play for Spain in the UEFA European U-21 Championships against Italy in Jerusalem on Tuesday night, has admitted that he is considering offers from Man City and Real Madrid and would decide his future after the final.<br />
With Carlo Ancelloti set to be named as the successor to Jose Mourinho, It is understood that Kaka who flourished under him at the San Siro will be handed a final chance to impress at the Bernabéu.<br />
The presence of the ever consistent Mezut Özil vying for a starting spot, Isco will have to work hard for a place in the starting line-up. City believe that the 21-year-old is prepared to sacrifice a move to a prestigious club of Real’s size in order to take up a central role at the Etihad Stadium, under Manuel Pellegrini, who he has good relations with.<br />
"It’s true that I know Pellegrini already," Isco said.<br />
Adding: "I know that both Manchester City and Real Madrid are two great clubs. I want what is best for me and for Malaga. I am going to take a holiday [after the European Under-21 Championship], which I need, and then decide my future.”<br />
Isco would be the perfect talisman to revitalise Manchester City’s title winning ambitions.
