Chelsea will submit a £70 million bid to sign Real Madrid midfielder Isco who has fallen down the pecking order at Los Blancos since Santiago Solari replaced Julen Lopetegui as manager in October.
The 26-year-old has started only one match under new boss and has made another five appearances as a substitute.The Spaniard was also booed by Madrid fans at Santiago Bernabeu last week as the Champions League holders were defeated 3-0 by CSKA Moscow.
The Sun claims Chelsea are ready to offer a £70m transfer fee to Madrid and give the attacker a four-and-a-half-year deal worth £250,000 a week.The report also adds that the Blues are also looking to sweeten the deal even further by offering Isco a ‘hefty’ signing-on fee.
Chelsea are looking to complete the switch in January, while the move is also endorsed by Maurizio Sarri, who wants to play the Spain international alongside Eden Hazard.
The Sun claims that Arsenal are also interested but are not making an offer. Earlier this week, Manchester City were also linked with a move with reports in Spain reporting that initial talks have begun over a potential move.
Isco remains under contract with Real Madrid until 2022 and has a €700 million (£629m) release clause in his deal.
