#1 Isco on the radar
Ever since the sacking of Lopetegui, Isco’s prominence at the Bernabeu seems to have taken a hit. He was an undisputed favourite of former Spain and Real Madrid manager but hasn’t been able to establish a similar rapport with Argentine manager Santiago Solari.
As a result, there are reports of the Madrid star opting to leave the club due to his fading stock. He had been linked with Manchester City for a while but Chelsea seem to have taken the lead here.
According to Diario Gol, both Man City and Chelsea are interested in him but Madrid’s pursuit of Eden Hazard means that the former Malaga star could be made a part of the deal to bring the Belgian to the club.
Chelsea are aware that Isco isn’t settled at the Bernabeu and their interest could be used as a means to trade the Belgium captain Hazard.
