According to Eldesmarque, Chelsea are prepared to fork out €55 million to secure the services of Isco. The Blues have reportedly reignited their interest in the Real Madrid playmaker, who has fallen out of favour under Zinedine Zidane and move away from the Bernabeu could be on the horizon. And in this article, we will discuss why Chelsea must get this deal done as soon as possible.
A serial winner
In Isco, Chelsea will have a well-established playmaker who has won almost everything in his career. He was part of the Zidane team that won three back to back UEFA Champions League titles. In fact, the midfielder had played a crucial role behind Real Madrid’s unrivalled success under the Frenchman.
Aside from that, Isco has bagged one La Liga title, one Spanish Cup and four FIFA Club World Cups. He had won also won the Champions League back in 2013/14 campaign – extending his tally to four.
Let us also not forget, the Spaniard has significant experience at the highest level of football, having made almost 300 competitive appearances for Real Madrid. And this could certainly come in handy in integrating himself into the fast-paced nature of the Premier League.
Isco’s impressive trophy cabinet will also introduce a winning mentality to the team as Chelsea look to usher in a trophy-laden era under Lampard.
He could bring balance to the team
Following the decline and the eventual departure of Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea have lacked the presence of a creative midfielder who can not only influence the build-up play but also inject a creative essence in the final third. Ross Barkley was brought in from Everton to fill that gap. But, the Englishman hasn’t been able to make a solid impact.
Isco, in that regard, could be an excellent addition to the side. He could provide the much-needed balance in Chelsea’s midfield unit with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante operating in double-pivot, with the Spaniard featuring in a number ten slot. It will negate the need for a creative outlet in the middle of the park.
It is the best time to sign him
Overwhelmed by the arrival of players like Eden Hazard, Rodrygo and Luka Jovic, Real Madrid would surely look to offload some of their star players. That means this could be an ideal time for Chelsea to land a blow in the transfer market.
Signing Isco for a fee of just €55 million would be no less than a bargain from Chelsea’s perspective given the inflation in the current market as well as the quality of the player. Therefore, the Blues must find a way to sign this Real Madrid star at any cost this month as they look to prepare their overhaul under Lampard, after being cleared to sign new players in January.
