Chelsea set to wait and see if £44m bid for Spaniard is accepted by Real Madrid

Chelsea table £44m offer for Real Madrid star Isco

Chelsea have made a move for Real Madrid star Isco, according to El Desmarque (h/t Sun).

The 27-year-old Spaniard has struggled to become a regular at the La Liga giants in recent years.

Isco has started just five league games this season and has three goals and one assist in all competitions.

The Spanish star is capable of playing in several attacking positions, but the Blues aren’t the only ones keen on him.

Our London rivals, Arsenal, are also interested in the 27-year-old Spanish international (h/t Sun).

However, The Blues have made their move to land the Spanish star.

Big money bid for star

The report claims that Chelsea tabled an offer for the Madrid star last Monday. The amount bid for Isco is £44m and the Blues are waiting to see if Real accept the offer (h/t Sun).

Isco has featured recently for Los Galacticos and it will be interesting to see if they let him leave.

Arsenal also have financial issues and could free up some money if they can get rid of Mesut Ozil (h/t Sun).

Chelsea’s transfer ban has been lifted and that would come as a huge boost to the team. We have done fairly well with the players in hand but adding a couple of quality players could ensure a top-four finish this season under Frank Lampard.
