French L'Équipe had the same information on Saturday.
It was earlier this week that The Athletic reported that 77-year-old Wenger was stated to be the first choice of the European Football Association (Uefa) to challenge the scandal-plagued Gianni Infantino for the post of president of the International Football Association (FIFA).
Wenger has been Fifa's head of global football development since 2019, when he was recruited by Infantino himself. His contract expires at the end of the year.
Fifa will elect a new president in Rabat, Morocco on March 18 and Infantino is aiming for a fourth and final term. Candidates must register by Wednesday, November 18.
