Juve to battle City for Madrid creator

 

Juventus have entered the race to sign Real Madrid creator Isco, according to Tuttosport.

 

The Serie A champions will have to fend off competition from Manchester City for the Spain international and are reportedly willing to offer a loan deal with a view to a permanent deal.

 

Isco, 23, has found first-team opportunities tough to come by following James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale’s return from injury and is set for a further time out after being shown a straight red card in their 4-0 defeat to Barcelona at the weekend.

Despite only being on the pitch less than 30 minutes, only Andres Iniesta (4) completed more dribbles than Isco (3) and only Marcelo (2) is averaging more dribbles per game than the Spaniard (1.7) for Madrid in La Liga this season.
