According to the report in British media, Wilshere is in the final year of his 105,000 euros-per-week agreement but has yet to open talks over fresh terms with Arsenal, but Real Betis have made contact with his representatives about free transfer move next summer. The England international is open to moving to La Liga on a free transfer.

How strong that interest is and whether Real Betis will make a move remains to be seen but it is certainly one worth keeping an eye on.
