Blow for Man City as £30m-man Isco reveals interest from Real Madrid



Manchester City target Isco has revealed that Real Madrid's Spanish youngsters have been trying to persuade him to join them at the Bernabeu.



The £30million-rated Malaga man is expected to follow his former boss Manuel Pellegrini to the Etihad when the transfer window opens next month, but Real are long-term admirers of the 21-year-old.



City target: Isco has starred at the Under 21 Championship, scoring in Spain's semi-final win against Norway

Pellegrini has made the playmaker his No 1 target after City already secured deals for Fernandinho and Jesus Navas, but Isco's comments will give him cause for concern.



Speaking in Israel where Spain are waiting to play the final of the Under 21 European Championships, Isco said: 'Those [Morata, Nacho and Carvajal] indeed are the guys insisting [for the move to Real Madrid]. We'll see what happens.



'I try to draw the line there. We have the Under 21 final and need to focus all five senses on that now.'



Isco and Co take on Italy in the final of the European Championships on Tuesday night, after the 21-year-old played a starring role by scoring in the reigning champions' 3-0 semi-final win over Norway.
