Malaga star Isco revealed he has received an offer from Manchester City, adding he would love to continue his relationship with Manuel Pellegrini, who is expected to be named the English Premier League side's manager once the La Liga season ends.

Isco has been heavily linked with a move to City in recent weeks, with reports suggesting Pellegrini has named the playmaker his No.1 target for the summer after agreeing a move to take over at the Etihad.

The 21-year-old has also piqued the interest of Real Madrid, who reportedly had a bid turned down by Malaga in the January transfer window.

Isco admitted he had received an offer from City and was considering his future with Malaga.

"There's an offer from Manchester City and I'd like to carry on working with Manuel Pellegrini," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

"He's my footballing father. He has given me all the confidence in the world and I'm very comfortable with him.

"I have to look at it calmly because it's my future and it's very important. I waver between the teams who want me because it's my future."

Isco insisted his choice would be based on playing time rather than money as he does not want to sign for a new club, only to warm the bench.

"I know Pellegrini likes me," he added. "He told me and I'm proud that he wants me. It's an honor although I don't speak much English.

"My father is looking after it and there are other offers apart from Manchester City and Real Madrid. But I can't talk about them. I'm not closing the door on any team. But I don't want to go somewhere and sit on the bench.

"It's a very important decision for my future and I don't want to get it wrong. I have some doubts, because I want to play wherever I go, and that's the most important thing to me. I don't want to regret it after not getting much game time."
