Arsenal frustrated as Milan prepare £28.9m bid for midfielder
ISCO has reportedly requested a transfer at Real Madrid - but he may not be heading to the Premier League.
Isco has started just three of Real Madrid's last nine games
Isco, 23, is said to have grown frustrated with a lack of game time at the Bernabeu.
The Spaniard has made 20 appearances under manager Rafael Benitez this season but has started just three of Real’s last nine outings.
Arsenal have been liked with a £28.9million deal for Isco this winter but reports in Italy claim he may be heading to Milan.
But Pellegrini’s unclear future may end City’s interest in the player, with the former expected to leave the Etihad Stadium club at the end of the season.
As for Arsenal, they expect to have the work permit of Egypt midfielder Mohamed Elneny wrapped up by next week after the player passed a medical ahead of his £7m switch from Basel.
