Isco in January? Heard we're close, does anyone know whether it's true? Not what we need right now but that would make him a typical Wenger transfer.
{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid made Isco available summer 2014 - although priced at a level where all but a handful of teams could afford him. They also offered him to Chelsea in part exchange for a player but Chelsea were not interested. There was interest from Manchester City and Bayern Munich in the past, but right now I am not aware of any interest that remains from Bayern, although Manchester City are still lurking in the shadows. Arsenal made an enquiry regarding Isco's availability in the summer but their first choice was someone else and then no longer a priority. In addition to Chelsea he has also been offered to PSG and Juventus - and Juventus put a significant offer on the table in the summer but it was not accepted. Not out of the question that Arsenal could look again - and I expect that Manchester City will enquire further. Right now there is no interested from Chelsea.}
