Chelsea have reportedly launched a €52 million offer to sign Arsenal-linked Isco from Real Madrid.
According to El Desmarque in Spain, as cited on the Daily Star, the Blues made their offer on Monday this week with Frank Lampard looking to strengthen his squad in January.
Isco, who has not always been a regular at Real Madrid this season, was linked with January moves to Manchester City and Arsenal recently after seeing his career begin to stall in La Liga.

Isco has worked his way back into Zinedine Zidane’s side of late, which may cast some doubts over a potential move away from the club in the new year.
Just at a point where it looked like his Real career was coming to an end, he may have been given another chance to prove his worth.
If he were to move on in January, it’s easy to see why both Chelsea and Arsenal would be among the clubs looking to lure him to the Premier League.
A hard-working but classy playmaker, Isco has all the traits to be a success in the Premier League.
Add to that, the fact that Mesut Ozil is reportedly closing in on a move away from the Emirates, there could be an opening for him to replace the German in London.
However, after recent reports claimed a number of players are concerned about the direction that the club are heading, the Gunners may need Champions League football to compete for players like Isco.
