Barça Fan Arshavin Would Go To Madrid

It's been a busy summer so far for Andrei Arshavin and the Russian playmaker is in the news again today after it has been revealed the self confessed Barcelona fan is so desperate to leave Russia he would even join Real Madrid...
Despite the fact that Andrei Arshavin has not actually left Russia this summer, the diminutive playmaker has rarely been out of the headlines. Following a fine European Championships Arshavin
is believed to have been courted by various clubs around Europe but with Zenit asking for €30 million for the player there was no deal done.
Now though, with the January transfer window in mind, it has been revealed that Arshavin is so desperate to leave Russia he would join Spanish giants Real Madrid, even though he confessed
recently that he is a fan of arch rivals Barcelona.
It is thought that his agent, Dennis Lachter, has been in the Spanish capital this weekend to suggest the possibility of the move to Real Madrid chiefs Ramón Calderón and Pedja Mijatovic. The
main problem for any potential transfer though is that Zenit have in the past refused to lower their price tag on the player of €30 million and if they continue to do so a move might be
difficult to broker.
For his part the Russian is known to be keen to leave his native country and to prove himself in one of the top leagues in the world before he gets too old to do so. Currently twenty eight, the
playmaker could be at his peak now and it is understandable that he wants to join a bigger club whilst at the top of his game.
The revelation that he would join Real Madrid is a suprise one though, not only because he is a fan of Barcelona, but also because it is thought the Spaniards were offered him over the summer
but were not interested, preferring to focus on other targets instead.
