Real Madrid have confirmed that Malaga star Isco will
sign for the club upon the successful completion of a medical.
The midfielder has been linked with a number of Europe's
biggest clubs after starring for los Boquerones in their debut season in the
Champions League last term.
Manchester City were strongly tipped to sign the
21-year-old, with the Premier League club reportedly keen on reuniting the
player with coach Manuel Pellegrini after his arrival from Malaga earlier in
June.
But Isco is now set to become Carlo Ancelotti's first
signing at the Santiago Bernabeu after Florentino Perez's revelations on
Wednesday, with the fee believed to be in the region of €30 million.
"Isco has signed from Malaga and must now pass his
medical examination”, the president told Radio Nacional de Espana.
The Spain international revealed earlier in June that he
had received offers from both Madrid and Manchester City but hinted on Monday
he was set to join the Bernabeu giants.
"Real Madrid are a club that excites me - they are
one of the best teams in the world," he said.
Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos spoke positively about
the potential arrival of his Spain team-mate earlier this week.
"Isco is a great player and we always aspire to have
the best. It's a joy to hear rumours of a transfer," he told Onda Cero.
Isco scored 12 goals in 47 appearances in all
competitions last season.
