More Arsenal news

Real president Ramon Calderon has declared his interest in the Spanish midfielder, which Wenger slammed as "disrespectful" behaviour.

Calderon told The Sun: "My policy is not to create a confrontation with other teams — but Cesc is No 1 in his position. I would like to have him."

Furious Wenger had earlier warned Calderon: "I don't want to sit there and hear Madrid come out and say they want this player and Barcelona come out and say they want that one.

"I never come out and say that I want a player from Real Madrid or Barcelona because of respect to these clubs.

"If I want a player from them I call them. I know who to call and ask if they're selling him.

"All the rest I find that it's like 'We walk all over everybody else and we don't care about anybody'.

"It's unacceptable. But nothing will ever be done.

"The rule when a player is under contract is that you first contact the club to see if a player is available.

"We're not stupid enough to believe it really happens like that but I think you have to be decent enough not to come out in newspaper because it's unsettling as well.

"That they contact agents behind our back, we understand. But that they come in a newspaper I find disrespectful."

Calderon had told reporters: "If Cesc wants a change we will be there to negotiate.

"Cesc is a player that all managers and technical directors like and ours do too.

"But it has to be a decision that comes from him. It has to be the player to understand a cycle has ended and he wants a change.

"If that's the case we'll be ready to negotiate with his team."

Calderon's words will infuriate Wenger, who has hinted he is ready to sue Inter Milan for tapping up midfielder Alexander Hleb. The Belarus midfielder's future is also uncertain following the very public overtures of Inter, who have already met his representatives.
