Arsenal are planning a £53million bid to sign former Tottenham star Luka Modric this summer, claim reports in Spain.
The Gunners are keen to revamp their squad when the transfer window opens after a dreadful season, which could see them miss out on Champions League football for the second year running.
And, according to Don Balon, the Premier League club believe the Real Madrid pass master is the perfect man to bring more balance to their midfield.
Arsene Wenger has lacked options in the middle this season.
