Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos pleased with Isco speculation

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has admitted that he is excited by the rumours linking Isco with the club.

The Malaga playmaker is reported to be nearing a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, although Manchester City are also thought to be in the running for the 21-year-old's signature.

"Isco is a great player and we always aspire to reinforce with the best," Ramos told Onda Cero. "It's a joy [to hear the transfer gossip]."

Ramos is currently competing with Spain at the Confederations Cup in Brazil.
