Pellegrini dismisses Isco rumours
Posted Friday, January 01, 2016 by foxsportsasia.com
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has seemingly ruled out a January move for reported target Isco after declaring that his "squad is complete".
Pellegrini is a big admirer of the Real Madrid midfielder, whom he managed during their time together at Malaga and attempted to bring to the Etihad Stadium upon his appointment in 2013.
While City did business during the 2015 January transfer window, signing Wilfried Bony from Swansea, the Chilean suggested the club were unlikely to be active in the market next month as he shrugged off the Isco rumours.
"I don't talk about rumours," Pellegrini told reporters. "I am telling you what I am thinking about for our squad in this moment.
"Really I think the squad is complete. As always, I said that we are not going to close the window [now] but we are not really thinking of any special players to bring in."
Pellegrini bolstered his attacking options during the off-season with the signings of Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne and Fabian Delph as part of a spending spree totalling more than £150 million.
