Arsène Wenger Insists He Rejected Real Madrid to Remain Loyal to Arsenal

Former Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger has admitted he snubbed interest from Real Madrid in the past as he feared he would not be as happy away at a different club.

The legendary manager spent 22 years with the Gunners, and after lifting three Premier League titles between 1998 and 2004, caught the eye of Madrid.

However, he chose to remain loyal to Arsenal, guiding them through their stadium-debt era before leaving the club in 2018.

Speaking to beIN Sports (via Metro), Wenger confessed that he was happy with his decision to stay in north London.
