Klopp keen to sign Real Madrid star Isco

Jurgen Klopp is interested in signing Isco from Real Madrid, according to El Desmarque.

The midfielder has fallen out of favour at the Liga giants this season, making just six league starts to date.

Because of this, a move away has been touted and Liverpool reportedly see him as a potential option.

Isco has been linked with the Reds in the past, but nothing ever materialised, with the 27-year-old now in his seventh season at Madrid, having joined from Malaga in 2013.

I don’t think Isco is worth the hassle for Liverpool and I also highly doubt they would ever make a move for him now.

At one point, he was one of the most highly-rated young players in Europe, but he has flattered to deceive too often at Madrid.

He has only hit double figures twice in seven years at Santiago Bernabeu, which isn’t good enough for someone who possesses his level of class.

A wonderfully talented football, in my opinion, it is difficult to see where he would fit in at Anfield, though.

He neither possess the pace to be effective out wide in a front-three, nor the work-rate and dynamism to slot into a midfield role.

Madrid also want €70 million for his services, which is hard to justify.
