In this day and age where it seems money talks I guess it is good to see Wenger commit long term to Arsenal. It has been reported that Wenger turned down a 40 million pound offer from the Spanish football club Real Madrid. Real’s president-elect Florentino Perez was very keen to lure the Frenchman to Spain but the Gunners boss has decided to stay in England, reports The Sun.

Wenger would have been handed an amazing five- year deal which, with bonuses for winning the Champions League and La Liga, would have added up to almost eight million pounds a year. He was also promised a free hand on recruitment by Perez, who also wanted him to eventually become Madrid’s sporting director.owever, despite being flattered by the deal, Wenger has decided to stay put and will sign a new deal at the Emirates that will tie him to Arsenal for at least another three years.
