Chelsea are reportedly considering launching a bid for Malaga starlet Isco.
Isco has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs over the past few months, with Liverpool, Manchester City, rivals Manchester United, and Tottenham all believed to be keen.
It is thought Man City could be preparing to launch a bid for the 20-year-old during the current transfer window, with the club's newly appointed director of football Txiki Begiristain a big fan of the youngster.
But Chelsea have also been monitoring Isco for some time, and according to the Daily Mail, the Blues are considering tabling a bid for the playmaker at the end of the season.
Malaga are keen to keep hold of the highly-rated midfielder, who has a buy-out clause believed to be set at around €21million, and have insisted that a move will only happen this year should that figure be met.
Malaga sporting director Mario Husillos last month told TuttoMercato: "Isco is our player and he is not on the market."
When asked if clubs could tempt Malaga to cash in, Husillos added: "We want to keep him here. But, you all know that there is a termination clause and if a club chooses to pay this then it does not depend on us."
When asked to clarify if his comments meant Isco would only leave if his buy-out clause was met, Husillos confirmed: "Yes, but we would like to keep him with us.
