According to Don Balon, Manchester City could agree a deal for Isco who ‘is not happy at Real Madrid’ and feels ‘undervalued’. The 26-year-old has long been admired by City manager Pep Guardiola, although his £79m asking price could prove a stumbling block as the Sky Blues only want to pay £53m.
David Silva has shone as a deep-lying midfielder under Guardiola this season, earning himself a place in Spain’s World Cup squad this summer, but the talented playmaker is 32 and may not be able to play every week as he once could.
