Isco has emerged as one of the most sought-after players this summer, having enjoyed a remarkable 12 months at Malaga following a switch from Valencia.
Chelsea and Madrid are long-term admirers of the player but City have emerged as a clear favourite in recent weeks, having poached his manager at Malaga Manuel Pellegrini.
And according to the player himself, it could prove to be a tipping point when he comes to deciding on his future.
‘Manuel Pellegrini is my footballing father, who gives me confidence,’ said Isco.
‘So of course I have to think about joining Manchester City, I’m looking at it.’
Any deal for Isco is likely to be expensive, with Malaga insisting they will not sell the pass-master for less than his £30million buyout clause.
Isco is expected to formally decide on his future when he returns from the Under-21 European Championships in Israel.
