Man City have no interest in £72m Isco as Real Madrid try and offload Spain playmaker to fund Paul Pogba bid

Manchester City have no interest in signing Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

Marca's front page on Thursday reported that Pep Guardiola wanted Isco to replace David Silva who will retire at the end of next season but Sportsmail understands City have no interest in the Spain international.

Madrid are desperate to sell players so as to raise funds to bid for Manchester United's Paul Pogba and have priced Isco at €80m.

But so far there have been no offers for the midfielder who fell out of favour last season at the Bernabeu.

City were interested in signing Isco when Manuel Pellegrini was their manager but Guardiola has no interest in the player.
