Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is being linked with Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The Mail on Sunday says Wenger will have to top Bayern Munich's £7.8million-a-year offer to Manel Neuer to have a chance of luring the brilliant FC Schalke goalkeeper to the Emirates.
The Arsenal manager has inquired about the 25-year-old Germany star who, almost single-handedly, kept Manchester United at bay for must of their European Cup semi-final, first leg last week.
But Wenger need not worry about competition from United, whose manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is looking elsewhere for a successor for Edwin van der Sar.
And Bayern's fans once again showed their hatred of the German No 1 by displaying anti-Neuer banners in their side's 4-1 win over Schalke on Saturday.
Neuer angered Bayern fans by mimicking an Oliver Kahn celebration when Schalke won in Munich last year.
