Would love Di Maria here but I'm not sure we could land him if the likes of City and PSG are involved as well.

Why would Real Madrid be interested in concrete?, are they building a new car park?
Yup, I think too many teams are involved, he'll go for BIG money...if Real actually let him leave.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
I am really surprised he wants to go tbh, he is first choice for Real and has had a very good season.
Class player, would absolutely love him here.
You've rather answered your own question there.
We're being linked with signing Kallstrom on a permanent deal.
Don't really mind for a squad player. He did look decent whenever he did play. Guess Arteta could be off, if we get another midfielder.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could resign Kim Kallstrom next season on a permanent deal - the Swede was at the Emirates on loan for the second half of the last campaign but a back injury meant he didn't feature often (Mirror)
Just seen this!

We were a lot less keen to sign Di Maria when we were linked with him last summer unsurprisingly. In any case any Real Madrid player will be 40+ million which is why I hardly see us shopping there on a regular basis suddenly.
Wenger was wiling to spend that much on Ozil because of circumstances, being a long LONG time admirer as well as 2 failed attempts to sign him previously and because he is really the quintessential Wenger player, the assist-pass master.
Wenger isn't willing to spend this sort of money on just anybody though, no matter how justified we think it is.
Hmmm... I'll reserve judgment on that one [Kallstrom] until I know what other business we're planning. Hypothetically, I'd have no problem with it, if we're sounding him out as a back-up plan (i.e. if we can't get anyone else in DM because we've run out of time or money, or because a long-term target isn't available, or we're buying some time to sort it out next summer, when there's less to do, etc), but I can't say I'd be impressed if he comes in as one of our first-choice targets for that area?
I still think Schneiderlin is worth a look, personally - he's obviously not in the Javi Martinez bracket, but he is PL-ready, has a good engine on him, is a good tackler / interceptor, and a good passer. Plus he's been at Southampton for 6 years already, so hopefully they wouldn't begrudge him the move...

Sanchez not for sale according to Barca's president, so I guess we can forget about that one...

One of the other quintessential Wenger players is the winger-turned-CF (or visa versa)? Goal (yeah, I know) were saying that we were in Madrid after the CL final, negotiating for a marquee signing, who they suggest is a wide-forward that Wenger and his scouts believe can be turned into a central striker...

...99% likely it's all BS, but enough people were seriously suggesting it as an option with Draxler, and since then there's been a few reports that we've made a concrete offer for Di Maria, along with PSG and Monaco?
Di Maria isn't leaving Real anyway, he's just had his best season for them, he's improved so much and is unplayable at times.
