Everton target Isco is reportedly set to sign for an unnamed MLS club having snubbed a move to Goodison Park in the January transfer window, with Union Berlin also missing out on the playmaker.
According to Estadio Deportivo, the five-time UEFA Champions League winner is close to agreeing on a deal to join MLS in what will be the latest high-profile signing for the American top-flight, though it is currently unknown which franchise will land the Spanish international.
AS had recently reported that Isco is ‘dreaming’ of a move to America having failed to join Bundesliga side Union on deadline day, with Everton also being snubbed by the former Madrid star as Sean Dyche failed to sign a single player in the January window.
Whilst the Toffees got off to the perfect start under their new manager in a 1-0 win against Arsenal, Isco would have been an electric signing for Everton, though it now appears that a move to MLS is now on the verge of being completed for the 30-year-old.
Isco was released by Sevilla at the start of the year having failed to impress with the La Liga giants, and with the playmaker now seemingly in the twilight of his career, a move to a top club in MLS could be an ideal transfer for the former Malaga superstar.
Indeed, MLS has proven to be a great league for European players looking to recapture their love for the game in recent years. And for Isco, snubbing Everton for a move across the Atlantic could prove to be an incredible decision from the former Madrid playmaker, who could do with a complete reset of his career.
Isco moving to MLS could put him back on Everton’s radar in the summer
Isco is a player who has all the talent in the world to be one of the very best in the game. And with a move to MLS now on the horizon, the midfielder has the chance to reinvent himself and to put himself back on the radar for many top European clubs, including Everton.
As we know, Isco will be a star player for whichever franchise he signs for in the coming days. And if the Spaniard can find his form and return to peak physical fitness, there is every chance that the playmaker can play his way back to a top European division after a stint in MLS.
