Pep Guardiola is set to break Manchester City’s transfer record again when the transfer window resumes next summer, and this time the Catalan is heading to Madrid.
Manchester City broke their transfer record in the January transfer market to sign Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao, but the French look like he would not hold that record for long.
Sun Sport is reporting that Isco is a target of the Cityzens and Pep Guardiola is prepared to pay more than $80 million to get his man when the transfer window reopens. Per the report, Isco who has started just 18 La Liga games this season feels he would soon be of limited importance at the Bernabeu and he is ready to say yes to the Premier League champions-elect.
Isco has been targetted by Manchester United and Liverpool in the past and the Reds could attempt to hijack Manchester City’s move if they get encouragement that he would truly move.
The 25 years old signed a new long-term deal at the Bernabeu last September and his release clause was set at over $600 million, Los Blancos could demand more than $100 million if he does ask to leave them.
