Isco to join Chelsea?

Don Balon have a huge story today and they claim that Real Madrid and Chelsea have agreed a £72.3 million deal for Isco. The Spanish midfielder is set to become the Premier League side's first signing in January.

The report claims that Real Madrid are planning for the future and do not see Isco as a part of it. Solari was not interested in keeping him at the club and they decided to let go of him.

The move comes as a huge blow to Manchester City who were looking to sign him as well. Chelsea have reportedly taken advantage of their good relationship with Madrid and signed him up.
