Real Madrid midfield ace Isco is being linked with a shock move to Barcelona.

Barca presidential candidate Josep Maria Bartomeu has reportedly secured a top Spanish player to join his ticket - with his identity to be unveiled a week out from the July 18 poll.

El Economista says the man in question is Real midfielder Isco.

Isco came close to joining Barcelona when starring with Malaga and remains a big fan - naming his pet dog, 'Messi'.

A move to the Nou Camp would shock Real chiefs - and fans, with Isco a big favourite of the Merengues support.
