Real Madrid and Barcelona are ready to pounce for Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.

The French midfielder tested manager Mikel Arteta's patience by bragging about his wages after a clash with Brighton's Neil Maupay.

He mocked Brighton's players over their earnings despite Maupay, who later scored the winner, earning £10,000 MORE than the £40,000-a-week Arsenal ace.

Le 10 Sport claim frustrated Arteta is happy to let Guendouzi leave the club this summer.

Their report adds that La Liga giants Real and Barca are both willing to offer the playmaker an escape route.
