Arsenal have seemingly received encouragement regarding the rumoured pursuit of Real Madrid youngster Victor Valdepenas.<\/p>\n
Recent speculation has positioned Valdepenas as a potential summer target for the Gunners. The 19-year-old made his bow for Real last month and he is held in high regard by the Spanish heavyweights, which could complicate any potential transfer.<\/p>\n
Reports indicate a \u20ac50million (\u00a344m) release clause has been inserted into his recently penned contract, which runs until 2029.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Marca, via Football365, suggest Xabi Alonso’s departure from Madrid has ‘harmed’ Valdepenas. The teenager reportedly feels ‘deceived’ by incoming manager Alvaro Arbeloa, with the Gunners maintaining ‘special interest’ in his services.<\/p>\n
Valdepenas has apparently been presented with opportunities to seek pastures new before the January window closes. Arsenal are understood to be foremost among those vying for his signature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal have seemingly received encouragement regarding the rumoured pursuit of Real Madrid youngster Victor Valdepenas.
