Manchester City have reportedly come in to take Malaga’s Isco for a summer transfer, ahead of Barcelona.
AS report today that Barca had been following closely the sought-after 21-year-old, who is expected to leave Malaga this summer despite only recently renewing his contract.
It is understood, though, that City have acted to tie up a deal ahead of them. Details are currently unspecified, but negotiations reputedly began back in mid-April.
City apparently decided to enter into talks for the Spain international then amid reports of an inquiry from Monaco and then follow-up meeting between the Ligue 2 side’s officials and Isco’s agent.
The English side’s move has also allegedly come after advice from the Anchovies’ Coach Manuel Pellegrini, who is also speculated as joining City in the summer.
Isco has a buyout clause at La Rosaleda set at €35m.
