Arsenal have the first option to buy Real Madrid midfielder Isco
The Spaniard is reportedly keen to exit Madrid and has been allowed to leave for £35 million in the summer.
Arsenal have acquired the option to sign 23-year-old Isco for a fee of £35 million according to TribalFootball.
The report also claims that if Real Madrid don’t receive an offer higher than the one put on the table by The Gunners, then the midfielder will be packing his bags to London in the summer.
Premier League rivals Manchester City have also expressed interest in the player, who is reportedly eager to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli believes Zinedine Zidane was reluctant to let go of Isco in Janaury as there was not sufficient time to find an ideal replacement.
Isco has netted three goals this season for Real, and is contracted with the club until mid-2018.
