Manchester City to make £32m Isco bid

Manchester City are set to challenge Real Madrid's resolve and launch a £32 million bid for Isco, according to The Sun.

The Spain international is unhappy at the lack of playing time he has endured in recent weeks at Santiago Bernabeu, and City boss Manuel Pellegrini is aware that the midfielder may want to leave the Spanish capital.

Manchester United are also keen on the 23-year-old, but City are confident they can get the deal done during the January transfer window.
