The Gunners defender is wanted by Real Sociedad and talks over a deal have been ongoing this week
Arsenal will sanction Nacho Monreal’s move to Real Sociedad, if the defender decides he wants to return home.
The La Liga outfit are hoping to sign the experienced left-back before the Spanish transfer window shuts on September 2 and have been in talks with the Gunners over a deal for the past fortnight.
Nothing has been agreed between the two clubs, despite reports in Spain at the weekend suggesting a transfer was imminent.
