Manchester City in contact with Isco

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is in contact with Real Madrid midfielder Isco, according to Okdiario’s chief pundit Eduardo Inda. Speaking to El Chiringuito, he said: "Everyone knows that Guardiola loves Isco and 10 days ago, maybe less, a person of absolute confidence of the coach called Isco and asked if at this time he would be willing to take the step to go to the City. The person who called him was Mikel Arteta." However, despite his problems with Solari, Real are reluctant to sacrifice Isco midseason.
