Barcelona are maintaining contact with Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

With Neymar on his way to PSG today, Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu needs a major market blow to appease angry fans and prising Isco away from Real would represent a huge coup.

Diario Sport says Barca are prepared to use part of Neymar's €222m fee to convince Real to sell the Spain international - though it all depends on the player.

Barca have told Isco's camp he must come out publicly and declare he wishes to join them. Should he take that risk, a €60m offer will be lodged for Real's consideration.

There is an anti-Barca clause in Isco's current deal, meaning he would have to pay a hefty cash penalty to leave for the Nou Camp. But the arrival of Monaco superkid Kylian Mbappe could force Isco's hand.
