REVEALED: Real Madrid offered Arsenal two more stars during Ozil talks

Real Madrid offered two more stars to Arsenal as they were negotiating the signing of Mesut Ozil.

Goal says Arsenal raided Real Madrid back in 2013 when they secured the £42.5million signing of Ozil.

But it has been revealed that the Spanish giants actually offered the Gunners two other huge names before agreeing to part ways with Ozil.

Arsene Wenger's former transfer negotiator, Dick Law, has opened up on how Madrid contacted their Premier League counterparts and gave then a list of players who were potentially available for sale.

Law flew out to the Spanish capital to meet Madrid chief Jose Angel Sanchez and after a positive meeting, Karim Benzema and Angel di Maria were reportedly offered to the north Londoners.
