Monaco are closely watching Arsene Wenger’s situation and are very much interested in tempting the Frenchman away from Arsenal.
Club officials met with Wenger two months ago when they participated in the Emirates Cup in London.
Wenger’s made his name at Monaco between 1987 and 1994, winning the French league in his first season. According to the Dailymail, the French club is willing to offer a £10 million-per-year tax free deal, with his contract at Arsenal due to expire, but Wenger eventually signed a three-year extension at Arsenal worth £24m.
Vice President Vadim Vasilyev said: ‘For Monaco he is part of our history, part of our heritage.
‘He is doing an amazing job. I don’t know if one day he will want to come back, but we keep a very good relationship. Last time we exchanged was during the Emirates Cup. He keeps a strong affection for Monaco.’
Vasilyev added: ‘Our ambition is to be one of the clubs that plays regularly in the Champions League.’
Meanwhile Wenger has revealed that Mesut Ozil heard a crack in his ruptured left knee before half-time in Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat at Chelsea.
In an exclusive interview with beIN Sports, Wenger said: ‘He felt a crack. I am deeply shocked. He wasn’t involved in a collision.’
