The Spanish midfielder had a falling out with coach Santiago Solari right from the start of the Argentine's stint, which would force the playmaker to leave this winter.

Spanish midfielder Isco may be far away from Europe right now, but the tug of war to sign him has allegedly started.

According to a report by British tabloid The Sun, Isco will join the Premier League's best footballers this winter, with Real Madrid needing to make a choice on whether to sell the footballer or not. The player has not enjoyed enough playing time since Santiago Solari's arrival, and EPL title contenders Chelsea are ready to lift that problem off the Spanish giants' shoulders.

The Blues are supposedly ready to sign Isco for over $88M, with the initial deal extending for four and a half years. Furthermore, Chelsea is ready to offer the Spaniard a $308,000 wage per week, which should give them an edge over other EPL teams interested in this signing, such as Arsenal or Manchester City, according to this report.

The deal is set to be signed during the first days of 2019, especially since coach Maurizio Sarri has already made plans to pair Isco along with Eden Hazard. Let's wait and see how things develop once Real Madrid returns from their FIFA Club World Cup adventure.
