Arsenal ace Nacho Monreal reveals Manchester City target Isco is Real Madrid-bound
ARSENAL defender Nacho Monreal has lifted the lid on Isco's future by saying he has signed for Real Madrid.
Isco has been on the trail of a number of top European clubs, with Borussia Dortmund and PSG believed to have join Manchester City in their pursuit of the gifted 21-year-old.
Manuel Pellegerini had already made a £21m bid for the Malaga playmaker, who was believed to be torn between a move to the Etihad or the Bernebeu.
But it seems that Isco is Real Madrid bound according to his former team-mate.
"Isco has succeded wherever he has gone," Monreal told Spanish paper Marca.
"I believe he has already signed for Real Madrid and I'm sure he'll do very well because he is a great player.
"He may cost them, but together they will have opportunities and they will seize them."
Isco was instrumental in Spain's successful U-21 European Championships campaign.
