Barcelona President Admits Club Could Make Shock Move for Real Madrid Star Isco

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has admitted that he would not hesitate to sign Isco, or any other Real Madrid player, despite the long-standing rivalry between the two clubs.

Isco's future has been the subject of intense speculation since the start of the season. He has struggled for consistent minutes under both Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari, having yet to start a La Liga game under the latter - who assumed control of the side in early November - thus prompting rumours of a potential Bernabeu exit.

Speaking on El Partidazo de COPE, Bartomeu insisted that the club would be happy to sign a Real player if manager Ernesto Valverde desired.
