The Real Madrid play-maker is reported transfer target for Liverpool.
News emanating from Spain this morning claims that the Reds are ready to move for Real Madrid ace Isco in the summer, according to Spanish media outlet Don Balon, as Jürgen Klopp looks to bring in a long-term replacement for the recently departed Philippe Coutinho.
Many questioned the wisdom behind the German’s decision not to bring in attacking reinforcements during the January transfer window, but the German obviously thought it was the wiser choice to wait until the summer.
Don Balon claim that Klopp’s primary transfer target is Los Blancos star Isco, and that Liverpool will test Madrid’s resolve with a summer bid for the Spaniard.
The 25-year-old would bring an added level of quality and nouse to Liverpool’s attacking play, and would go a long way to filling the void left behind by Coutinho.
Isco moved to the Bernabeu from Malaga in the summer of 2013, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £23 million, and has since gone on to make 213 appearances for Zinedine Zidane’s side, chalking up 39 goals and 51 assists in the process.
Chelsea and Manchester City are also keen on the 25-year-old, according to Don Balon, so Liverpool will not have things all their own way, but if they do manage to bring him to Anfield, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for the Reds.
