Reports | Juventus preparing January move for Isco

The Serie A champions are, according to the Italian sports news source Calcio Mercato, preparing a move for Spanish international Isco in January, when the transfer market reopens for business. The 27-year-old was linked to Juventus in the last summer transfer window, but remained in Madrid under the management of Zinedine Zidane, as the Merengues set a €75 million price for the attacking midfielder.

However, the former Malaga star has only been used in two La Liga matches so far - starting just once - which seems to indicate that he is fallen down the pecking order in Zidane's team. The Italian giants are looking to take advantage of this issue and acquire a player who was very important in Real Madrid's latest success, reuniting him with Cristiano Ronaldo. At Real Madrid since 2013, Isco won 14 titles with the Merengues - Four Champions League titles, one La Liga crown, one Spanish Cup and Supercup, four FIFA World Club Cup and 3 UEFA Super Cups.
