Roma are considering bringing in free agent Isco should Henrikh Mkhitaryan make the move to Inter this summer.
The Giallorossi are trying to convince the Armenian forward to sign a contract renewal and they’ve currently offered a one-year deal with an option for a second worth €3.5m net per season plus add-ons. Hopes are not high, however, as the Nerazzurri have offered a two-year deal, something that the former Manchester United man prefers.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Roma are now considering the idea of bringing in Isco to replace Mkhitaryan should he leave. The experienced Spaniard would be a good addition to Jose Mourinho’s squad and he could certainly fill the void left behind following a possible Mkhitaryan departure. Talks between the two parties are now ongoing.
Roma are not the only club interested, with Milan also reportedly keen, but in Spain the Giallorossi are considered the favourites. One of the reasons for this is that they’re the only club offering a three-year deal to the 29-year-old.
Whilst Isco does have a high salary of around €6.5m net per season, the Growth Decree would allow Roma to spend the same amount as they would have done with Mkhitaryan.
