Arsenal are reportedly attempting to poach Barcelona's sporting director.
Raul Sanllehi is said to be on the Gunners' wish list as they look to freshen up their transfer policy.
Spanish radio station Cadena SER have reported that Arsenal have already sounded out Sanllehi in a bid to convince him to move to north London.
Manchester City are also reportedly interested in landing the experience director.
Sanllehi is believed to be close to the exit after over a decade at the Nou Camp with the club poised for a major remodelling of the club's structure.

Arsene Wenger has been handed a triple injury boost ahead of Arsenal's trip to Watford.
The Gunners were in impressive form before the international break, winning four games on the spin in all competitions.
And Wenger looks set to be able to recall three players for the trip to Vicarage Road, reports Football.London.
Francis Coquelin has already returned to full training following the hamstring injury he sustained during the Carabao Cup success against Doncaster Rovers last month.
And Danny Welbeck is due to return to full training on Monday having recovered from the groin strain he suffered late on during the 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Mesut Ozil is also set to link up with the first-team squad on Monday in a further boost to Arsene Wenger after the German's knee injury cleared up.

Aaron Ramsey has been impressed by how well Alexandre Lacazette has settled into English football.
The French striker has had a fine start to his Arsenal career since his move from Lyon, scoring four times in the Premier League.
It took him just two minutes of his debut to open his account and Lacazette hasn't looked back.
And Ramsey believes there is even more to come from the £52m signing.
"He’s very technically good, he’s very clean with his touches and his link up play and he’s a great finisher," the Welshman said.
“We’ve seen some fantastic finishes so far from him and I’m sure there will be many, many more to come as well, so it’s exciting times for him personally and for us to have him here."
