Arsenal have held advanced discussions with Barcelona full-back Oona Batley in the hope of reaching a pre-agreement to sign her in the summer.
The 26-year-old is free to hold talks with other clubs with her current contract at Barcelona expiring at the end of the season.
European champions Arsenal already have plans in place for the summer window and are hoping to bring in Batley on a free transfer.
The Gunners are also close to agreeing terms with England midfielder Georgia Stanway to join when she leaves Bayern Munich at the end of the season.
If they strike a deal for Spanish international Batlle, it will be one of the biggest moves in recent years.
The full-back, who spent three seasons at Manchester United between 2020 and 2023, was part of the Spain squad that won the World Cup three years ago.
She also played a key role in Spain reaching the final of Euro 2025 and Barcelona winning the Women’s Champions League in 2024.
Batley is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the world but is understood to be keen to return to the Women’s Super League.
