Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is reportedly interested in acquiring Isco from Real Betis to strengthen his team. The English club’s manager has been impressed by the player's outstanding performances and has instructed his sporting director, Monchi, to do everything possible to secure Isco’s services. Isco, who has contributed to 12 goals this season, is viewed as a potential leader and a perfect fit for Emery’s system. The 32-year-old midfielder has been in excellent form since his return to action towards the end of 2024, having scored eight goals and provided four assists in just 18 matches for Betis. Although Aston Villa is currently leading the pursuit to sign him, Real Betis is hesitant to part with their star player and considers him crucial to their project, potentially offering him a new contract to keep him at the club.
