Manchester City face stiff competition for Malaga's Isco
MANCHESTER CITY have a battle on their hands if they want to land Malaga's Isco in the summer.
The La Liga outfit's 'golden boy' has caught the attention of a cluster of top European clubs with his scintillating performances.
Malaga have their own financial problems, and have been banned for competing in the Champions League by UEFA for their inability to settle outstanding debts.
It is believed that there could be a clear out in the summer, as they look to ease their financial malaise.
Spanish football site Inside Spanish Football claims Inter are lining up a bid for him although his £30m release clause may prove a stumbling block.
They also mention Inter are eyeing up a move for Sevilla's Geoffrey Kondogbia, who has also been linked with Manchester City.
Isco has proved to be a sharp shooter so far this season, notching up 11 goals in all competitions.
