According to dubious Spanish newspaper headlines, Juventus are close to signing Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

Isco Suárez, better known as Isco, has been a long standing target for the Bianconeri (If you believe the Italian papers) and they may get their man this summer.

Mundo Deportivo, a Spanish paper with a reputation for churning out the most spurious of stories, reports that the former Malaga player will leave Real Madrid to join Juventus in the summer.

How much can we read into this? Not a great deal. It’s the latest in a long list of stories that seem to be appearing just recently, linking Juve with Real Madrid players, in part due to Alvaro Morata’s contract.

With the Spanish striker’s future still uncertain,  Tuttosport, amongst others, suggest the Bianconeri will splash out close to €90m on both Isco and full-back Danilo, as well as removing Morata’s buy-back option, meaning they’ll own him outright.

Fasten your seatbelts, the mercato is almost upon us, and I suspect this summer will be a long and arduous one.
