Isco on Manchester City's radar

Don Balon claims that Pep Guardiola is set to revive his interest in Real Madrid's playmaker, Isco. The Spaniard has long been linked with a move away from Madrid but after seeing his importance grow in this Madrid side, Isco recently signed a new deal with the European champions. This has not perturbed Manchester City from monitoring the 25-year-old who reportedly has a release clause of over £100 million. Pep Guardiola is keen on working with Isco since the player's Malaga days and is expected to make a move next summer.

Arda Turan heading to Turkey

Yet to make an appearance this season, Arda Turan is desperate to end his FC Barcelona nightmare in January. Mynet reports that Turan is being linked with a move to Fenerbahce in the Turkish league. The 30-year-old midfielder has been a reported target for a number of clubs such as Inter Milan, AS Monaco and a host of Chinese Super League clubs. But Fenerbahce seem to be confident of landing Turan which might become a controversial transfer in Turkey as Turan started out his career with Fenerbahce's bitter rivals, Galatasaray.

Missing Italy

Alvaro Morata misses Italy

The Chelsea striker has admitted that he misses Italian football and believes that he made a mistake leaving Juventus in 2016. Morata spent two seasons in Turin but joined Real Madrid due to a buy-back clause in his contract. The striker then joined Chelsea this summer to end his stay in Spain, once and for all. Speaking to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Morata revealed, "I arrived in Italy feeling like a boy and I returned feeling like a true player. I should never have left Italy and Juve. I really miss Italy. My wife would like to live in Spain; I'd like to live in Italy."

Inter Milan monitoring Eliaquim Mangala

Tuttosport writes that Inter Milan are ready to make a move for Manchester City's Eliaquim Mangala if the Premier League club are ready to sell him at a low price. Mangala joined City in a big money move from FC Porto in 2014 but has failed to win many admirers with his performances. City are also looking to offload the Frenchman but only if they find a better replacement. Inter Milan are flying this season with manager Luciano Spalletti keen on making his defence stronger with the signing of Mangala.
