Manchester City are ready to step in and rumble Arsenal's plans for Dani Ceballos.
On-loan this season from Real Madrid, Ceballos has been outstanding at times for the Gunners.
However, the prospect of him signing permanently has long been clouded, despite Real being prepared to sell this summer.
And adding to the confusion is the emergence of City's interest.
Okdiario says City manager Pep Guardiola has long been a fan of Ceballos and would welcome the chance to work with the Spaniard.
Indeed, City have now made contact with Real and suggested an offer of €35m to kickoff negotiations ahead of Arsenal.
