Arsenal target, Isco could be available for a cut-price fee of £15million as Real Madrid reshapes their squad.
The Spanish club has just made Carlo Ancelotti their latest manager and the former Everton boss is having a look at all his players in this preseason.
He reportedly had a conversation with Isco when he was appointed and assured the midfielder that he might be useful to his plans.
However, AS is reporting that he is one player that the Spanish club hopes to cash in on, handing Arsenal a boost.
The Gunners have brought in Albert Sambi Lokonga, but there is still uncertainty around the future of Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira.
Isco would be a fine addition to the Arsenal squad this summer and his experience at winning trophies including the Champions League and Club World Cup will help bring a winning spirit to the Arsenal dressing room.
Arsenal has also added Nuno Tavares to their squad this summer, but they are still looking to complete the transfer of Ben White from Brighton.
They might not sign another player until they complete a move for the England international, who is returning shortly from an extended break because of Euro 2020.
I just hope it is not $15m per pound, because Arsenal would have to sell the stadium and all of their players just to afford his backside.
Ben white issue should be wrapped up as soon as possible. I thinks it’s delaying a lot of deals that is yet to be done before the hired snactcher come around. IMHO
Let’s sign 29 year old Isco on a five year contract and almost double his current wages. He’ll be a fine addition to our squad and will bring in a winning mentality like Willian did last summer. Maybe our negotiation team can make a deal for Coutinho while they are at Spain for Isco. COYG!!!
Isoc’s La Liga stats
Season – Starts / Goals / Assists / Total minutes
16/17 – 18 / 10 / 8 / 1636
17/18 – 21 / 7 / 7 / 1780
18/19 – 11 / 3 / 1 / 1185
19/20 – 15 / 1 / 2 / 1168
20/21 – 8 / 0 / 2 / 897
In half a season Willock scored twice as much as goals in PL than what Isco did in his last three seasons combined in La Liga.
I hear Geoff Hurst is still available and not yet even eighty. Perhaps worth a fake rumour at the very least, eh PATRICK AND MARTIN!
Thank you VasC!
Couldn’t agree more Vasc. Totally unrealistic suggestion. Won’t happen in a million years.
If the Willian experiment doesn’t scare Edu off making free or cheap transfers of ageing attacking players then I dont know what will.
Besides, if he still harbours dreams of Odegaard then signing one of his direct competitors wont help the case.
Just. Say. No.
Oh NO! Not this overused false rumour AGAIN!
I NEVER BELIEVED IT THE FIRST OR OT TENTH TIME I READ IT, AND I STILL DON’T!
It has been running almost as long as the Benzema fake rumour that outlasted AW and his reign.
Isco used to be a good player but i wouldn’t like Arsenal to go for him instead just pull that £25m and get Aouar if Maddison is expensitve.
This rumour has been running almost as long as the Benzema coming to us rumour that began way back when AW still had a few years left and still persists at times.
AFC were never interested in signing this Jamie Redknapp lookalike and still are not.
Why it keeps appearing is hardly a mystery though, given the insatiable need for articles on JA
I only wrote the above post since my first two posts had mysteriously disappeared, only to miraculously reappear, the moment I had written the above post. I know precisely why but I’ ll leave it there!
Do Not Touch with a Bargepole!Theres a reason Madrid are flogging him @ £15 million.Has an attitude problem as well.
No for the deal.
