Former Real Madrid star Isco Alarcon joined Sevilla as a capital investment, a player who was supposed to lift the team and the whole club to another level. But things didn’t work out for the attacking midfielder and Los Nervionenses.The honeymoon period was excellent, though. Isco stepped into Julen Lopetegui’s side and did well at the start of the season. However, the team’s form quickly went downhill, resulting in Lopetegui’s sacking. With his favourite coach and mentor out of the picture, Isco fell out of love with his life at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan – and it became apparent that the former Champions League winner would be more of a burden than an asset.New coach Jorge Sampaoli left him off the list in the two friendlies against Monaco and Benfica after the former Spain international showed signs of fatigue. On Tuesday, he withdrew from training after just ten minutes due to discomfort in his left ankle. Of course, he was not even seen to limp. Sevilla are exploring the option for Isco to be sold in the January transfer window after a fall out behind the scenes.Lopetegui is opening the door for a transfer to Wolves and is very keen on the player joining[ @marca 🥇]#wwfc #wolves pic.twitter.com/R0015bmPl1— 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐊™️ (@Wolfpackwwfc) December 12, 2022 The midfielder is not expected to be in Sampaoli’s plans and as much is expected to leave next month. The fee that Sevilla will demand is unknown, but they will want money for him as the club seeks to balance the books.Lopetegui now manages in the Premier League at Wolverhampton Wanderers, but another two clubs in the league are reported to be interested in the 30-year-old. According to Fichajes, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the clubs that are most likely to sign Isco. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been linked with several Spanish players, and Isco is now the latest.##NAJAVA_MECA_6893208##But the first candidate in the line to get the Andalusian midfielder is Lopetegui. Maybe he could fit in the Spaniard among all the Portuguese players at Molineux. Reports have suggested that Wolves have made progress in their efforts to sign the centre-back and versatile forward, two areas which need strengthening at the midway point of the campaign.However, according to Marca, the West Midlands side could be presented with the opportunity to add a creative midfielder to their ranks. Lopetegui and Isco were supposed to be an all-conquering duo at Sevilla. Perhaps Wolverhampton is the place for them.
