Chelsea remain the favourites for his signature but Arsenal are monitoring the situation closely after Madrid set their asking price at €50m. Elsewhere, Wolfsburg full-back Ricardo Rodriguez has been looked at as a potential defensive acquisition after impressing for Switzerland at Euro 2016. Wenger is keen to line up long-term replacements for Nacho Monreal and Per Mertesacker, who are both now in their 30s. The bulk of Arsenal's first-team squad returned to training earlier this week ahead of the new Premier League season. Wenger's side will travel to the USA, Sweden and Norway before their league opener against Liverpool on August 13.</blockquote>
