Madrid has managed to convince Isco to reject the offer from Manchester City and the player should now end up signing for the 'whites' and the reason for that is the insistence of Zinedine Zidane.

The French legend rang the Málaga born player during the European under 21 Championships in Israel to change his mind. He managed to convince the player that in Madrid he would get games and be an important asset for Carlo Ancelotti. From that moment Isco began to see things in a different light, because the decision to go to City had already been taken.

Zidane also had to the do the same with club President Florentino Pérez who he had to convince that the signing of the player should be a priority. To begin with Pérez was apparently not too convinced about signing the Malaga player.

Florentino had reportedly told those close to him that there are already a lot of central midfielders in the club. However after a chat with Zidane, who will be Ancelotti's right-hand man, his opinion was swayed. Zizou argued that the player would be a great strategic signing because of his enormous potential and also because he is Spanish. At Real Madrid not only the best foreign players should be available but the best Spanish players too. From Marca this morning.

Within the club the signing was thought to be a lost cause because it was known that the player was practically a Manchester City player, a club with whom Madrid shares a good relationship. The new City coach Manuel Pellegrini had also promised the player that he was guaranteed to start games which had originally convinced Isco to follow his ex-coach to England.

It seems to be less and less likely we'll get this kid which is a shame because this was the 1 that I really wanted. Madrid have been using Z Z as a pulling powere for them. Every player who has signed said after that Z Z was the man behind the move. The only way we could pull this of with Madrid with egg on their face is with pelligrini driving into carrington with isco besides him, that certain be putting two fingers up at them

*shared.

Past tense now... well if it is true they snatched Isco from under us.

[Mase]

So basically what that story is saying is Madrid didnt really want Isco, but Zidane did and he's convinced Isco that Madrid, who apparently didn't really want him anyway, is the best place for him.

Marca again! Are they solely a propaganda machine for Real?? .......oh wait yes they are.

They seriously need to slow this crap down though... seems every few hours a new/rehashed real isco story is being released.

It's pathetic.

Ha, he might have been a drunk, but sometimes, just sometimes, he had a point.

Sky Bet have suspended betting on Isco now.

Hate to say it but I think he has slipped through our fingers.

[guv111]

City hopeful of sealing £21m swoop for Isco as midfielder gets ready to snub Real Madrid

That's the kind of snubbing I like.

[ruralblue]

I take it this Marca is a Madrid newspaper?

If this is the case then why the fuck aren't Cheshire Today putting any pressure on Madrid? That would shit Real up a bit surley?

The odds certainly moved heavily to RM last night before Sky withdrew betting.
Unusually with a transfer, appears to be just a 2 horse race since the options to stay at Malaga/other clubs arent being considered.
Punters could more easily have "covered their bets, so it is a win-win outcome.
Bookies probably uncomfortable with this market?

[gmercer1]

Just want to know one way or another!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Was thinking this myself, Real have their pocket paper in action, we need ours.

Cheshire you are letting us down!

[Original Dub]

On this occasion, I would throw everything at it. Not just because he is such a prospect, but because this is a big showdown with Real and we need to show them we won't be beaten.

I can't understand how his head is being turned or indeed if it has been. He doesn't like Real, he thinks of Pelle as his footballing father and half our fucking team speaks Spanish.

Get on the fucking plane you arse clown.
