Arsenal offered Nacho Monreal a new contract this morning, according to Alfredo Pedulla.
FC Barcelona and Olympique de Marseille are both clubs who have been tracking the defender.
With his deal set to expire at the end of the season, the Gunners have moved to avoid losing him for nothing.
They have offered him a new contract which is expected to keep him at the Emirates for at least another season.
Monreal has made 31 appearances for Arsenal this term and has proved to be an important player for Unai Emery.
