8 Players Liverpool Could Sign in the Summer

#4 Isco (Real Madrid)

Club Atletico de Madrid v Real Madrid CF - UEFA Champions League Semi Final: Second Leg

Isco isn't really a player who needs any introduction, as he's well-known around the world by this point. But for those unfamiliar with him: he's a 26-year-old attacking midfielder who currently plays for Real Madrid in La Liga. He is also an asset to the Spanish national team, having played 36 times since his debut in February 2013.

Isco's confidence had been rocked following Zidane's departure, and he performed poorly under the recently fired Santiago Solari. As a result, he was left out of the first team for a long time and even had to watch games from the stands. He's only begun to pick up the form he once received critical acclaim for now that Zidane's back in charge.

If things stay steady for Isco under Zidane, there will be no need for him to leave, but with Liverpool offering a chance to play in the Premier League, Isco might be open to new challenges now that he's nearing his late-twenties.

What may cause an issue for the Reds, though, is his price tag; it's understood that Madrid would only be willing to let a player of Isco's calibre go if his market value figure was met (£90m). Liverpool are likely to have enough, but it's a huge chunk of money to spend on just one player.

Tactically, however, Isco would be the dream option to have in the attacking midfielder role behind the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino. The Reds' attacking force would suddenly become overwhelming for virtually any defence in the league.
