Manchester City are keeping tabs on Isco's situation at Real Madrid.
AS says Isco could be squeezed out at Real, particularly with Luka Modric now fully fit and flying in preseason.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini is a big fan of Isco, who visited the Etihad two years ago when he was considering his options as a Malaga player.
The midfielder is also interesting Juventus, where coach Massimiliano Allegri has confessed his admiration.
It's suggested both Pellegrini and Allegri have asked their respective clubs to sign Isco before the summer market shuts.
