He’s the clear favourite ahead of Tottenham chief Mauricio Pochettino (3/1) and wantaway Chelsea boss Antonio Conte (7/1).
Asked about the Real Madrid position spokesman Paddy Power said: “That’d be one way of shoving two fingers up at the Arsenal Fan TV lads – ditching the Gunners for the European champions.
“We’ve seen big money for Big Weng to head to Spain, although I’m not sure he’ll need his big jacket out there.”
