Isco set to move, Lewandowski set to stay

Malaga wonderkid seems keen to move on from the highly in-debt club. Isco has been highly rated throughout the last year, especially with his performances taking Malaga to the UCL quarter finals, where they so nearly knocked out eventual finalists Dortmund. After a sublime strike against Norway in the U21 European championships the other day (and an overall amazing performance throughout the tournament) the value of the young spaniard has only increased. Different sources report on different club adresses for Isco. Some place him in Man City, whilst others are convinced that he will move to the Spanish Capital and Real Madrid. Fellow U21-teammates Morata, Carvajal and Nacho have all been trying to convince Isco to join Los Galacticos.
So which team will Isco join this summer if he leaves?

Let's look at the facts:
- Malaga are not going to play any form of European football (financial problems etc.)
- Isco plays as an attacking midfielder
- Mesut Özil (Madrid) and David Silva (Man City) also play as attacking midfielders.
- Isco wants to play champions league football.

Isco is an amazing talent, but he won't put aside either of the two above named midfielders (at least not initially). With the talent he has, he has to start the majority of the matches, to consistently improve his game. At the same time he has to play Champions League football to develop as a player. So this only leaves a few clubs to which he can join, bearing in mind who can afford him naturally.
- Shaktar Donetsk
- Borussia Dortmund
- PSG
- (Arsenal)

He probably won't want to move to Ukraine, since he can't maximize his development in that sort of league. PSG spent almost €45m on Lucas Moura and are probably waiting on some dividend on him before they make a major investment like Isco. If you look at the techinal play of Isco, he is perfect for Arsenal, and would work fantastically alongside Santi Cazorla and Wilshere (provided the latter is injury-free). However Arsenal (Arsene Wenger) is renown for holding tight to his wallet during the transfer windows, even though on paper Arsenal can afford both transfer fee & the potential wage demands of a player of Iscos' caliber. In mu opinion though, the ultimate team for Isco to join is Borussia Dortmund. With Mario Götze making the forbidden transfer to Bayern Munich a month or so back, the spot behind the tall striker Lewandowski is yet to filled. Isco and Götze are born the same year, he will get to play in a great league, his style of play is extremley coherent to that of Dortmunds. Financially they have around €35m to spend after Götze left, so a transition like that shouldn't be to complicated.

Whilst we are on the subject of Dortmund, Manchester United target Robert Lewandowski it set to stay. At least according to Dortmunds general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke. After his 4 magnificent goals against Real Madrid in the UCL final, the 24-year old Polish striker valued has increased and the European top clubs want to sign him, in particular Premier League champions Manchester United. But if we are to believe the general manager at Signal Iduna Arena, David Moyes can start to lay his energy on another striker to play alongside Robin van Persie next season.
