Is Wenger Real-ly Madrid Bound?

Suggestions have been circulating in the British press that Arsene Wenger could be about to swap Arsenal for Real Madrid.

Certainly, respected football journalist, Guillem Balague thinks this could be the case.

According to Balague, talks are well underway between Wenger's agent and Jorge Valdano, the man Florentino Perez, the outright favourite to win the Real presidential elections, has give the task to find them a new manager.

This comes after stories that Wenger has become frustrated with the Arsenal hierarchy.

This is a move that could very possibly happen and should it happen, it would be a very interesting one.

Real are a club renowned for splashing the cash on big-name players and the potential marriage of them to a manager who is renowned for doing the complete opposite is bound to raise a few eyebrows.

In the past, Wenger has had free reign over transfer decisions. Would this be the case at Madrid? It certainly hasn't been their way in the past.

If Wenger does join Real it would be extremely interesting to see if, or how, Real's transfer policy changes or if it will be a mix between Real's 'big bucks for big players' approach and Wenger's 'buy young unknowns and make them greats' strategy.

Each strategy has had its sky-high ups but, more recently, its lows. If these two approaches can be successfully amalgamated then we could soon see the reemergence of Real as the world's premier superpower.

Then again, Wenger could stay at Arsenal.
