Real Madrid are prepared to make a big-money move for Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi in January, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
The La Liga giants came close to signing Rodri from Manchester City this summer, but the Spaniard decided to join Barcelona instead.
Madrid decided against pursuing an alternative option. Sport now claim that they regret the decision and will seek a new midfielder this winter.
Zubimendi has been long on the radar of Los Blancos, and they could make a renewed approach for the Gunners star at the turn of the year.
The Real Sociedad graduate was a guaranteed starter for the Gunners in his debut campaign until May, when Myles Lewis-Skelly displaced him.
He has suffered the same treatment this season and could be tempted to pursue a new challenge if an opportunity arrives next year.
Arsenal will want to recoup the entire £60 million spent on his services if Madrid come forward with a transfer proposal this winter.
