LIVERPOOL LEAD THREE CLUBS IN RACE TO SIGN ISCO

Liverpool are leading the race to sign Isco this summer, according to reports in Italy.

The playmaker looks set to leave Real Madrid this summer and according to Tuttosport, Liverpool lead the likes of Juventus, Manchester City and Manchester United to sign the talented Spaniard for a fee of around €80m.

Isco has seen his game time restricted this season, having fallen out with current manager Santiago Solari and it seems the LaLiga giants are ready to cash in on him to help fund their summer rebuilding programme.

Juventus were thought to be leading the race but they have prioritised the signing of Marcelo from Real instead, according to the Italian paper, leaving Liverpool as the favourites to sign Isco.

Man Utd and City have also been touted with an interest, but City would prefer to sign a long-term replacement for Fernandinho, while United are targeting a new centre half and possibly a winger this summer.

Klopp, however, remains in the market to sign a new No 10 to replace Philippe Coutinho and it’s said the Reds would have no trouble spending the €80m required to lure Isco from the Bernabeu.
