´noticia normal´
La Rosaleda has been frequented by Man City scouting personnel, and Abramovich is in contact with Málaga. Isco is a target for both City and Chelsea, and Manchester United is also interested.

Isco says he doesn´t want to leave, there´s going to be some hot and heavy new wage negotiating, and all indications are that his price tag will jump to €40M.

Both would be horrible destinations. United or Arsenal would be much better career moves.

I don´t see him leaving. He´s playing for a great coach, in a system built for him, he´s a young kid, probably slamming OT 9´s and 10´s on the reg (Málaga es mucho Málaga), it would have to be a break the bank scenario, which I don´t see.

I don't see it either. At least not until the summer. Malaga is in debt though (unless I'm mistaken) and last I read their owner is AWOL. So who knows.

BTW, I think Michu jumps to a big club. He´s already 26, maybe 27, I don´t think Swansea can hold him. He´s got to cash in.

Well Laudrup is setting massive "pricetags" on him to presumably ward off the big dogs. Would love him at Liverpool - he'd fit in perfectly.

I can't imagine Laudrup would hold firm on 30. That's just fricking ridiculous.

He certainly wouldn't although a huge bid wouldn't really surprise me. The guy is in his prime and is a dynamic player.

The owner has money, they´ve been trying to do it the QPR way, and it´s not working. He´s really in a shite or get off the pot scenario, but seeing what Pellegrini has done with them so far in CL, I see him continuing to drag his feet.

I think there would be a major uproar if Isco were to leave. Not that there wasn´t when Santi left, but, Santi is alot older.

I read it was in the 20s..

City are interested in buying him in January and then loaning him back for the rest of the season to make the offer more "appealing"

Makes sense, I was talking pounds... But on iPad and don't know how to make that symbol...

He's worth every penny

Hopefully United's interest materializes into a bid. We need better options in the midfield.

I´ve got a feeling this is the one place he´d seriously consider.

It's fricking ridiculous that any English player playing in England automatically gets 10m added to his value.

Just another factoid why Europeans laugh at the English.

You all would be fine if Kagawa hadn't immediately gotten injured and Anderson could stay healthy for more than 20 minutes

I think he goes to Chelsea. That's just what Chelsea needs: another young, attacking midfielder
