To bring Isco to the Emirates, Real Arsenal will have to pay a portion of Spain ‘s salary which could be a stumbling block for the Madrid club.
Arsenal also had to move at least one player to bring in Isco, with Mesut Ozil the Gunners-to-move forward, considering his big mother £ 350,000 a week following continue to eat into the club’s reserves.
Ozil has frozen out with Arteta and it is very likely that he will never play for the club again, with his contract with the club up at the end of the season.
Arteta has been desperate for more creativity in midfield and above and reports say Isco is the perfect candidate to help with that particular issue.

The 28-year-old star, valued at around £ 18million, has made just 11 appearances in this campaign
Isco has made 11 appearances for Real this season and is often heavily influenced by Zidane.
The former Malaga man has 18 months left on his current contract at the Bernabeu and could be sold in the summer for just £ 18million.
While Arsenal would be willing to make a deal, they are up against strong competition from Sevilla, according to AS.
Isco, the Spanish news outlet, would prefer to make a stat in Spain about a move to England and would like to go back with Julen Lopetegui, who was the head of Spain and Madrid.
Isco enjoyed a good form in Lopetegui ‘s short time at the helm of the 2018 LaLiga champions and is understood to have felt the majority supported by him.

However, his time in the Spanish capital has been memorable ever since, with the now-out-of-favor player. Zidane is said to have lost all confidence in Isco, but refused to let the uprising go away next month because of his fears of a possible injury crisis.
Madrid will take a reasonable price for their previously valuable assets and will be able to cut back on its annual salary of £ 6.3m.
Isco believes it will still be able to enjoy at least three more seasons performing at its peak. The same report also says that Lopetegui is enjoying the opportunity to work with Isco again and that the player ‘s family would be very happy with the turnaround.
