Real Madrid are weighing up a bid for Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
"Of course we are interested in Cesc," said Real sports chief Pedja Mijatovic yesterday. "We've been interested in him for over a year now and we are still interested. He is a great player and I expect all the big clubs will be interested."
Real president Ramon Calderon infuriated Arsenal last week by claiming there had been talks with Arsene Wenger about succeeding Fabio Capello as Real Madrid's coach. That was strongly denied by Arsenal, who will also be unimpressed by Mijatovic talking openly about Real's interest in Fabregas.
