Arsenal are reportedly considering paying a substantial fee to Real
Madrid for Dani Parejo.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reported by Marca to be pondering
making a huge offer for Real Madrid's 16 year-old 'wonder kid' Dani
Parejo.
Midfielder Parejo is regarded as one of the best young talents to
come through Real's youth system for several years.
He has already been tied to a four-year professional contract which
includes a £10 million buy-out clause.
But Marca claim that the size of the fee will not deter Wenger if
he decidees he wants the starlet.
Although Wenger has ruled out entering the January transfer market
to strengthen his first-team squad he may regard Parejo as a sound
long-term investment - as he did when taking the 15-year-old Cesc
Fabregas from Barcelona in 2003, and then going back to the Catalan
giants for Fran Merida.
Merida, now 17, has just gone on loan to Real Sociedad to continue
his football development with some valuable competitive first team
experience as the San Sebastian club seeks to return to La Primera
Liga at the first attempt.
