ISCO DEAL OFF THE TABLE

Chelsea are poised to pull the plug on a potential deal to bring Isco to Stamford Bridge.The Real Madrid playmaker has long been on the Premier League club’s radar, and is edging towards the exit at the Bernabeu having started just five games this season.6

Isco has long been linked with Chelsea

According to The Sun, Chelsea were willing to pay 75million to secure the Spain international’s signature and put together a salary package worth more than 250,000-a-week.But the midfielder’s representatives are said to have asked for even more money after receving an approach from Paris Saint-Germain and that has angered Blues chiefs, who are now set to end their interest in the 26-year-old as they are not convinced he wants to play for the club.Chelsea manager Mauricio Sarri is said to be ‘disappointed’ by the stance as he wanted to pair Isco with Hazard.
