Revealed: Real Madrid to free up two players when signing this Arsenal targe
Jorginho's agent this week confirmed both Arsenal and Real are keen to sign the Napoli star.
The Gunners are thought to have had a bid for the 24-year-old rejected in January.
Manager Zinedine Zidane is reportedly plotting tactical changes to the team and requires a central midfielder to sit in front of the defence, handing Kroos and Modrid more free reign to move forward.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has himself reportedly earmarked midfield as a key position to bolster this summer.
The Gunners have signed just two first-team outfield players in their last three transfer windows and have amassed a sizeable kitty to spend before next season.
