Arsenal 'cooling' interest in Luis Enrique
The French Coach will leave the Gunners at the end of the season, after 22 years’ service.
Enrique has been out of a job since last season, being replaced at Barcelona by Ernesto Valverde. Long linked to Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain among others, he was connected to Arsenal recently.
According to France Football, however, the Gunners believe that he’s too expensive, though it’s unclear whether it’s personal wages, or the €230 million transfer kitty he reportedly wants to spruce up the squad.
This has left the North Londoners with Leonardo Jardim, who did a terrific job last season in helping AS Monaco make the Champions League semi-finals, as win as win Ligue 1 against a far more hyped Paris Saint-Germain.
According to the French magazine, the “Portuguese is very popular among the Gunners,” but he has a deal with Monaco until 2020.
