RAFA BENITEZ wants to bring Arsenal's Francis Cagigao to Real Madrid.
Francis Cagigao is wanted by Rafa Benitez
The 45-year-old coach and scout is out of contract at the Emirates.
And with Arsene Wenger yet to offer him a new deal the new Madrid boss is lining up for his back-room team, according to the Sun.
Cagigao's current role is as assistant technical secretary and according to reports he played a key role in bringing Cesc Fabregas to Arsenal in 2004.
Benitez took over from Carlo Ancelotti this summer following the club's failure to win a trophy.
The former Liverpool man has overseen the exit of club legend Iker Casillas but is fighting to keep hold of Sergio Ramos with Manchester United desperate to land the defender.
Madrid last week snapped up Kiko Casilla from Espanyol.
