Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon admits Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is on their shortlist of names to succeed coach Fabio Capello.

Wenger still has a season left of his current contract, and the board are naturally keen to agree an extension as soon as possible.

However, with continued speculation over whether the 57-year-old Frenchman will look to finish the work he started back at Highbury a decade ago, Real Madrid again seem ready to try to tempt Wenger to Spain.

Capello - who still has two years on his contract - led Madrid to their first title in four years, but that has not stopped speculation he could leave the club.

Calderon said: "(Sporting director Predrag) Mijatovic has spoken to me about Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman and Wenger, among others."
