Football Express News understands that Real Madrid midfielder Isco has told the Spanish club to force through a loan move to the Premier League.
The talented Spaniard joined Real Madrid last summer from Malaga in a £28m move and made 53 appearances for Los Blancos last season, scoring 11 and assisting eight times.
But, his time at the club is about to change with the addition of James Rodriguez from Monaco on Tuesday, leaving the youngster doubting his playing time next season.
Isco, along with Angel Di Maria and Sami Khedira are now expected to leave the club and it is understood that all have interest from a number of Premier League clubs.
And, it is understood that the Spanish midfielder has told the Madrid giants that he would ideally want a loan move to England with Man City and Liverpool top of his wishlist.
Isco worked with City boss Manuel Pellegrini during their time at Malaga and it is understood that he would prefer to link up with the Chilean once more, rather than move elsewhere.
