Real Madrid are ready to pip Arsenal to sign Rennes midfielder Yann M’Vila.
Arsene Wenger is keen to land the France man, tipped to star at Euro 2012.
The Arsenal manager failed with a £20million bid in the summer but is expected to launch another raid.
Rennes want to sell M’Vila – whose contract expires in 2015 – after Euro 2012 to command a bigger fee, and are expected to hold out for close to £30m.
