RUMORS: Tottenham willing to pay €45 million for Isco

Tottenham is willing to pay a club-record 45 million euros ($50M) to sign Isco from Real Madrid in January, according to Sport.

The 24-year-old continues to struggle to make an impact in Zinedine Zidane's squad, making just two starts this season, and was the subject of an enquiry from Mauricio Pochettino during the summer transfer window.

Real Madrid is open to a sale, while a loan with an obligation to buy is also an option, but the club will insist on a recouping more than their initial outlay to Malaga from three years ago.

Isco has already addressed the need to move on should first-team opportunities continue to be limited.
