Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano is in Spain talking to Real Madrid representatives about a deal that would see Isco move to the Premier League side, according to reports.
Fichajes.net said the Citizens are keen to follow up their long-term interest in the playmaker and agree a transfer in January when the window opens again.
The 23-year-old would be reunited with former boss Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium – the pair worked together at Malaga before Isco’s switch to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2013.
The Spain international has featured 79 times in the league for Los Blancos in his time at the club scoring 13 times in total. More often than not under both Carlo Ancelotti and Rafa Benitez the playmaker has been used from the bench.
Speculation surrounding Isco has been present for a long time and while he is happy in Madrid, he would be willing to move for more first team football. City have long wanted to sign the midfielder and just missed out on him when he opted to join Los Blancos.
Should City come up with a firm offer, they could face competition from Premier League leaders Arsenal, with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger a big fan.
