Manchester City are monitoring Gareth Bale's situation at Real Madrid. The Manchester Evening News says Bale is the subject of intense transfer speculation after Isco impressed in the Welshman's absence through injury earlier this season.
And City are set to splash the cash next summer to combat their ageing squad.
The former Tottenham star is likely to be on their wanted list due to his status as one of the world's most deadly attacking players.
City's bitter rivals Manchester United are keen on Bale but Real are likely to demand goalkeeper David De Gea in part exchange.
Chelsea are also watching Bale's situation at the Spanish club and will also move if he is up for grabs.
