There has been some shock reports in the media which have claimed that Real Madrid wants to hire Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta as their next coach, as they seek a long-term replacement for Xabi Alonso.
News broke just a few weeks ago that Alonso would be leaving his role at the Bernabeu with immediate effect after failing to play the kind of football that the board would have liked, despite sitting second in La Liga and pretty much qualified for the next round of the Champions League.
There has been all sorts of speculation and rumours about whom the Spaniards wants as their next boss, with former Liverpool top man Jurgen Klopp the bookies favourite to replace the Spaniard should he come out of retirement.
But now – according to Fichajes, Real Madrid are reportedly interested in appointing ARSENAL boss Arteta as their manager and could push to secure his services during the summer.
The Spanish club are said to be impressed with the work he has done at the Emirates, and the president is particularly enthusiastic about the prospect of bringing him to the Bernabeu.
IcFootballnews Says…
Arteta has his ARSENAL side playing some of the best football in a good few seasons, he has one of the best squads in Europe and has a transfer policy that has really worked for the club this season, they are favourites to win that Premier League title.
However – the idea that he could leave his role at Arsenal just when he is starting to build something would be a massive shock, if the Gunners win the League this year, they could dominate just like Man City have over the past 10 years.
Madrid is a massive opportunity, but we feel that the only job Arteta would leave ARSENAL for is Barcelona, that is the club he loves second to the Gunners and the one move that he could not turn down.
