# Manchester City: Fans sick of Isco rumours amid fresh reports

**According to a report earlier this week from [El Desmarque](https://eldesmarque.com/madrid/real-madrid/noticias/177912-viene-a-por-isco-y-en-enero-oferta-de-ultima-hora-a-florentino-perez-ed), Manchester City have reportedly been instructed by Pep Guardiola to prepare a fresh €50m (£42.1m) bid for Real Madrid midfielder Isco – with supporters reacting frustratingly to the news that they are once again linked with the Spaniard.**

City and Isco, at least in the world of transfer rumours, go hand-in-hand – with [countless whispers over the years](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-isco-transfer-news-16006904) indicating that the midfielder could be on the verge of a move to the Etihad, which always seems to fall through.

Now, with the saga having resurfaced, a lot of Sky Blues supporters wish they would just stop now that they already have a successor for David Silva in mind.

Phil Foden has been tipped by [large sections of the fanbase](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/manchester-city-fans-want-phil-foden-as-david-silva-replacement/) to take Silva’s mantle once he departs at the end of the season, and the last thing they want is to spend over £40m to secure the Real Madrid man.

Here’s what they had to say on Twitter:

> poor Foden. never getting opportunities lol
