#5 Isco – Real Madrid - £25 million – Too Low
Realistic Value: £40 million
Trending
One story of the January transfer window which seemed to fall off the radar was that of Isco’s refusal to extend his contract at the Bernabeu. The Spaniard and former Malaga man's current deal runs to June 2018 and it seems he wants to see out the deal and then move elsewhere as per reports.
Unsurprisingly this has prompted Real Madrid to hit the panic button and slap a very modest £25 million price tag on the midfielder which has attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and even Barcelona. Isco, despite having failed to nail down a regular starting spot at Madrid, remains one of La Liga’s most adept and skilful midfielders, boasting good dribbling abilities and a fine eye for a pass.
He’s won many a trophy in the Spanish capital and is approaching the peak of his career so £25 million seems rather low, especially given that Real Madrid spent marginally over that when they snapped him up four years ago. He’s undoubtedly a better player since then and his value at present according to ‘Transfermarkt’ sits at £29.75 million, so Real Madrid would really be losing out.
