Latest reports are confirming that Chelsea want to get their hands on Real Madrid star Isco if the Galacticos come calling for Eden Hazard. The Belgian has been long linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu. It is now believed Chelsea want Isco to move to London in return if they end up losing Hazard.
The 25-year-old Spanish international plied his trade for Malaga before joining Real Madrid. His excellent performances at La Rosaleda Stadium earned him a transfer to Santiago Bernabeu where he has become one of the modern-day Galacticos.
However, the fight in the middle of the park at Real Madrid is getting intense and leaves no space for an under-performing player. Real Madrid already has a host of midfield talent in their squad in the form of Marco Asensio, Isco, Luka Modric, Dani Ceballos, Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Mateo Kovacic who can all play through the centre. However, with Modric at the dusk of his career and Ceballos unable to settle in, Isco is set to become a vital member of the Bernabeu over the years.
Although primarily a creative midfielder, Isco’s ability to play as a makeshift winger makes him an asset in the Real Madrid line-up. His composure on the ball is well complimented with his accurate range of passing. To add the final touch to his game, he has the ability to drift past defenders with absolute ease. Isco’s ability makes him an absolutely key member at Santiago Bernabeu and it is highly unlikely he will leave the club.
However, Isco’s close friend Alvaro Morata has been playing in London for almost a year now. It is believed Morata could be a key factor in Isco moving to London. Chelsea currently have their attacking creativity hedged on Eden Hazard.
On the day when Hazard plays, he is on par with the best in the world and cannot be touched let alone caught on the field. He dances and dazzles his way through and weaves a wave of magic on the pitch on his way to goal leaving fans and players mesmerized.
If Hazard gets to move to the other way, Chelsea’s best hope will be to get in Isco. The playmaker could team up with Morata and Willian to provide the threat in the final third for Chelsea.
However, whether Real Madrid will ever agree to such a deal remains to be seen.
