Sevilla are reportedly expected to win the race to sign Real Madrid midfielder Isco at the end of the season.
The playmaker has remained on the periphery of Zinedine Zidane's squad this season, making just three starts and eight substitute appearances in all competitions.
The lack of game time for the 28-year-old has led to speculation regarding a switch to either Arsenal or Everton in January.
However, according to AS, the Spain international is keen to secure a reunion with former Real and Spain boss Julen Lopetegui at Sevilla.
The report suggests that Los Nervionenses are prepared to pay £18m for Isco during the summer, leaving him to play a bit-part role at Real for the remainder of the campaign.
Real may still be prepared to entertain loan offers for Isco in January as they bid to reduce their wage bill.
