REAL Madrid have joined Barcelona and Inter Milan in the race to sign Arsenal's Alexander Hleb, according to Spanish reports.
With a reported £60,000 a week offer on the table from the Gunners, all three interested clubs are prepared to dwarf that with deals equating to £100,000 in weekly earnings.
Arsenal are renowned for their unwillingness to buckle to extortionate player demands, best illustrated by Mathieu Flamini's decision to take the £60,000 a week on offer at AC Milan, in preference to the Gunners' £55,000 deal.
And it is unlikely that the club will break the club's wage structuring programme to cater for Hleb.
The 27-year-old's agent has admitted over the last week that his client is keen on a move away from the Emirates Stadium.
And it is understood that Madrid are eager to boost the right side of their midfield, and see the Belarussian as an ideal option.
