Man City are ready to sell Nasri in order to bag Isco

The current Premier League champions came close to signing the Spaniard during his time at Malaga, but instead missed out to Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Isco has played in a variety of positions at the Santiago Bernabeu, but has reinvented himself as a disciplined yet creative central midfielder in the mould of Andres Iniesta.

Manuel Pellegrini is a huge fan of the versatile international, and reports claim that he is plotting to pair him alongside Yaya Toure for the next campaign.
