5 midfielders who can replace Andres Iniesta at Barcelona

#1 Isco

Barcelona have long been admirers of the Madrid midfielder

Isco is one of the best players in the Real Madrid lineup but has seen his opportunities limited over the past few seasons, yet he has showcased his talent as and when the opportunity arose. This season though, with the continued absence of Gareth Bale and departure of James Rodriguez, have helped his game time and he has been outstanding. His performance for Spain against Italy in the World Cup qualifiers was extraordinary and was one such night where he didn't put a foot wrong.

Isco joined Real Madrid from Malaga in 2013 and has since made 210 appearances for the club. Isco has a great technique and a good range of passing combined with great vision. He is also an effortless dribbler and has 4 goals and 3 assists in 17 games this season. His pass success rate of 88.5% in 17 games this season show just how good he is on the ball.

This transfer is highly unlikely but if Barcelona could manage to sign him from their arch-rivals, offering him the chance to be an undisputed starter for them in the middle of the park, it could turn out to be the coup of the century and would wipe away all the bad memories Barcelona supporters have from Luis Figo's departure.
