Real Sociedad remain interested in Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal.
With less than a year to run on his current deal, Monreal is open to a return home to Spain.
Mundo Deportivo says Real Sociedad are in contact, though reluctant to cough up a fee for the veteran.
Now 33, Montreal moved to Arsenal from Malaga in 2013.
Arsenal are reluctant to lose the veteran, however, with new fullback signing Kieran Tierney over a month away from being fit for selection.
