Prominence of Isco has grown in leaps and bounds at Santiago Bernabeu this season, but that is never going to let him enjoy the comfort that the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo get as it was reported earlier today that Carlo Ancelotti would listen to offers for the Spanish international.

Real Madrid piped the Gunners for the signature of the attacking midfielder in 2013 and Arsene Wenger never seemed to have cooled his interest in him as he was reported to have lined up a summer move last week.

Recent reports from the Spanish capital now suggest that £40 million would be enough to make him an Arsenal player.

At a tender age of twenty three, Isco still has a decade to offer and that is something that must entice the French manager for the Gunners now have an aging roster with the likes of Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta accounting to just a little shy of hundred years of age.

With Jack Wilshere spending most of his season on the sidelines and the consistency of Aaron Ramsey questioned, the Emirates Stadium club may need to have someone to make up. Isco could also provide a healthy competition that has the potential to bring the best out of the other lads.

The prospect of playing in the Champions League, getting regular playing time and proper recognition could be enough to lure him to don the red and white shirt next season.
