Manchester City favourites to sign starlet Isco


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.


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.


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.


 "It’s true that I know Pellegrini already," Isco said.


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.”


Isco would be the perfect talisman to revitalise Manchester City’s title winning ambitions.
