Wesley Sneijder has signalled his intention to remain with Real Madrid, amid suggestions he could be a target for Arsenal.
The capture of Kaka and imminent arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo have cast doubt on the futures of a number of players at Real, Sneijder among them.
The Holland international midfielder was a key player for Real a couple of seasons ago, but a knee injury picked up in the summer of 2008 set his career back.
He failed to nail down a regular start once returning from injury and with new faces heading to the Bernabeu, it is being claimed he is surplus to requirements.
Arsène Wenger is reported to be monitoring the situation, but Sneijder’s agent claims the midfielder wants to fight for his future at Real.
”Wesley has told me that he wants to stay at Real next year,” Soren Lerby told Volkskrant. ”He says it does not matter who they buy, he wants to stay.
”I have heard nothing from the club.”

He has the same agent as Vermaelen, possibly a double deal? I think he's quality and its not often that a player of his quality could be available. Despite his intention to stay if Madrid make it clear he is not in their plans and his first team place is lost im sure he would move.
How much do you guys rate him and what fee do you think Madrid will sell for - surely they need to get some income in.
