With the January transfer window just two months away, top European clubs have already started their search for the potential newcomers. Premier League leaders Manchester City haven’t been shy of being in midst of various transfer speculations either.
And according to the latest rumours, the Sky Blues have reportedly revived their interest in Real Madrid’s star midfielder Isco.
The Spaniard is highly rated by City head coach Pep Guardiola and is high on his list for possible future signings. Same reports claim that the Catalan is confident he can convince the midfielder to make a switch to the Etihad next summer. But how does the move pan out for Manchester City?
Ever since the appointment of Zinedine Zidane, Isco has played a vital role in Real Madrid’s success in these past two seasons. None more so than this season, however, where the 25-year-old has by far been the best player for Los Blancos.
As Manchester City scour the market for a possible replacement for ageing playmaker David Silva, Isco can prove to be the man they seek!
The Spanish International has taken La Liga by storm this season, scoring three goals and three assists whilst being the focal point of the Real Madrid attack. Isco’s own identity as a playmaker falls in line to the legendary David Silva, meaning he can aptly replace his compatriot at the Etihad.
The 25-year-old is blessed with technical brilliance and astonishing dribbling skills. Moreover, his tactical nous will surely hand Pep an edge over their Premier League oppositions. Isco normally starts on the right at times, but eventually shifts into more of an attacking midfielder, bridging the gap between the midfield and the attacking lines.
His ball-carrying abilities through the tightest of spaces is what makes him an able playmaker who can not only find the telling pass but also has the ability to make a difference himself. In many ways, Isco is actually quite an upgrade to Mesut Ozil, who is linked with City’s fierce rivals Manchester United.
All things considered, Isco is no less than a gem in European football right now. The former Malaga trickster is slowly evolving from a fringe Madrid playmaker to one of the most important midfielders in the world. Which is why, getting a hold of him is close to impossible, considering the fact that, the player has just signed a contract extension with Real Madrid.
But made no mistake, should they manage to lure the talented midfielder to the Etihad, it’ll no doubt be a game-changing move for Pep Guardiola’s men.
