Real Madrid to offer Arsenal's Wenger £5M-a-year deal

Real Madrid are making a £15 million bid for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
 
The News of the World says Real vice-president Emilio Butragueno is poised for talks with Gunners counterpart David Dein at the Champions League draw in Switzerland on Friday.

And Wenger will be offered £5m a year for three seasons - a record salary for a Madrid boss.

A top Real source said: "It is well known that Florentino Perez is a great admirer of Wenger and has never given up hope of finally persuading him to manage Madrid."

"There could be some developments this week as Emilio Butragueno will meet Mr Dein."

"Perez has not been put off by Wenger's public declarations about the matter as he knows the French manager holds Real in very high regard."
