Isco has confirmed Real Madrid and Manchester City have made offers to buy him and said he will decide his future after Spain's European Under 21 Championship final against Italy on Tuesday. The 21-year-old midfielder helped Málaga reach the last eight of the Champions League last season and has caught the eye at the summer tournament in Israel.

“Yes, there are offers on the table from both clubs,” Isco told Spain’s As sports daily. “Those are the two clubs that have shown the most interest. I hope to decide soon because I still have a contract with Málaga. I know that Manchester City and Real Madrid are both huge clubs. I hope that whatever I choose will be the best for me and for Málaga.”

Isco said he had not spoken to City's new manager Manuel Pellegrini since the Chilean decided to leave Málaga and move to the Premier League at the end of last term. However, Pellegrini's presence at City might help swing his decision the way of the Manchester club.

“He is a great coach who has done some impressive work at Málaga, as he did at other clubs, and I am sure things will go well for him (in England),” he said. “It’s true that I know Pellegrini already, I know how he works and he has been fundamental in my career during the two years I have been at Málaga with him.

“It’s a point in favour that we worked together and that I know how he works but it’s not definitive. I am going to take a holiday [after the Euro Under-21 championships], which I need, and then decide my future.”
