Arshavin has again been linked with a move away from Zenit St. Petersburg with Real Madrid his potential destination now.
Arshavin tried all summer to get a move to one of Europe’s big leagues for nothing to come of it but since the appointment of Juande Ramos as Real Madrid manager a move to the Spanish giants looks on the cards.
Ramos had tried to sign the Russian playmaker but was priced out of the market but money doesn’t seem to be a problem this time round.
Arshavin said: “I can confirm that officials from Zenit have begun preliminary negotiations with Real Madrid about my transfer.
“At the moment there is nothing concrete on the table. Also, there is contact with other Spanish clubs, as well as Italian and English clubs.”
