According to reports from The Guardian this morning, Chelsea will increase their offer for Real Madrid star Isco if they sell Oscar to Juventus this summer.
The Spain international, who claimed Europe’s prestigious Golden Boy award in 2013, registered 53 appearances across all competitions for Los Blancos last term, including outings in the Champions League semi-final, to net on six occasions.
But with his place in the starting Xi largely dependent upon the fitness of Real Madrid’s more lucrative names, the 23 year-old was linked with a move away from the Bernabeu in May amid rumours of a bust up with former manager Carlo Ancelotti, with Premier League trio Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United emerging as potential suitors.
Successor Rafa Benitez has assured Isco he’ll have a significant role at the Bernabeu next season, but nonetheless, Chelsea launched a £20million bid earlier this week.
It was immediately rejected by Real Madrid but The Guardian claim the Premier League champions will increase their offer if attacking midfielder Oscar is sold to Juventus.
The Brazil international is highly-rated in west London but struggled for form towards the end of last season and often found himself benched by Jose Mourinho. Currently, however, the Serie A outfit are reluctant to meet Chelsea’s £42million valuation.
Pls mourinho n ChelseaFC shouldn’t sell oscar. He has a special bite in games. He has understood d EPL nau. Isco n oscar r of d same qualities n wuld take tym 2 adapt 2 d EPL. Oscar we love! Oscar we want!! Oscar MUST stay wiv CHELSEA. #futurePIRLO
Pls,we prefer Oscar than isco,let him stay
Please live Oscar he can still deliver also is a young guy
Selling Orscar to fund money for Isco is senseless it does’nt make any meaning at all besides Isco played more than Orscar last season yet he couldn’t score more than him nor assist more than him ….for me i prefer Orscar to Isco
