The Sun credits the Premier League duo as long-term admirers of the attacking midfielder and it was previously thought he may be attainable given his role as an understudy at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 25-year-old played a big part in Real Madrid's La Liga and Champions League success last season, however, and starred for Spain in their 3-0 World Cup qualifying victory against Italy last week, scoring twice and humiliating Marco Verratti with a nutmeg that has since gone viral.
That has prompted Florentino Perez to sign Isco to a new deal, with the Real Madrid president revealing an announcement is imminent. It may not be such a blow to Jose Mourinho, who could benefit from this development in his bid to bring Gareth Bale back to England.
