Manchester City target Isco ready to make decision on future
Malaga forward Isco says his future could be decided by Sunday, with Manchester City and Real Madrid waiting in the wings.
TheSpanish starlet, who helped his country to European U21 Championshipglory on Tuesday, has found himself at the centre of a transfertug-of-war since the 2012/13 campaign came to a close.
With Malaga's financial struggles well-documented, and with coachManuel Pellegrini having decided to leave his post for one at the EtihadStadium, it did not take long for Isco to become one of Europeanfootball's hottest properties.
City and Real have led the chase from the start, and are known to have put offers to the talented 21-year-old.
They are now waiting to hear back, with conflicting reportssuggesting that both clubs consider themselves favourites to secureIsco's signature.
Both are already well-stocked for creativity - with City having addedFernandinho and Jesus Navas to a group which already includes SamirNasri and David Silva, while Real's midfield options include the likesof Luka Modric, Angel Di Maria, Mesut Ozil and Kaka.
Isco would face fierce competition for a starting berth at either club and is determined to make the right call for his career.
He has thought long and hard about his decision, keeping everyonewaiting, but has now hinted that a lengthy transfer saga is nearing aconclusion.
He said: "I prefer not to comment about my future, but the matter could be closed this Sunday."
