Iker Casillas wants Real Madrid to tear up his contract so he can join Arsenal on a free transfer, according to reports in Spain.
The Spain keeper is an institution at the Bernabeu but lost his No 1 spot to Diego Lopez two seasons ago and now only starts for Real in the Champions League.
And with Madrid having signed Costa Rica keeper, Arsenal are long-term admirers of the 33-year-old and have been linked with him extensively this year.
One stumbling block could be that they have already agreed a deal for a goalkeeper, £3.2million for Nice's Colombian David Ospina.
With the departure of Lukasz Fabianski to Swansea, however, Arsenal are a bit light on keepers so Casillas may still be pursued even if Ospina signs.
That could leave the future of Gunners No 1 Wojciech Szczesny in doubt as Casillas would surely not want to warm the bench at the Emirates after his months of frustration in Madrid.
