Reports: Guardiola who wanted Isco to join Manchester City

Isco Alarcón has joined the ranks of Sevilla after several weeks as a free agent. The midfielder has arrived free of charge and has agreed to reduce his salary to join Lopetegui's project. The former Real Madrid midfielder signed a two-year deal with Sevilla and underwent a medical examination on Monday. Both suffered declines at Real Madrid after the 2018 World Cup, and the duo hopes to reignite the spark that made Isco a valuable player during his early years at Real Madrid. His performance was so impressive with Los Blancos that he was once linked as a potential star for Manchester City, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano explained that Pep Guardiola was very keen on the midfielder.
“I can reveal that Isco was on Pep Guardiola’s list at Manchester City more than three years ago. The city considered this possibility but Isco was untouchable for Real Madrid at that time,” According to Fabrizio Romano in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside. “However, there have been no negotiations this summer with Arsenal, Tottenham, or any other English club – Sevilla has always led the race.”
Committing to a definitely decent salary for Isco, Sevilla hopes to give his best, unlike what happened in the past two seasons, where Isco did not exceed the 1000-minute barrier in the Spanish League with Los Blancos.
