As per the report from The Metro, they said the Spanish club is believed to be European champions, Real Madrid.
The Mirror reported this week that the 17-year-old was on the verge of completing a move to the Emirates to be reunited with former PSG boss Unai Emery.
According to L’Equipe, Adli reportedly refused an offer to remain at the Ligue 1 champions to instead move to the Emirates and will instead join Arsenal on a three-year contract with the option for a further two-years – however if Madrid are the club said to be interested in the starlet then a move to north London could be in serious doubt.
Yacine Adli is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in world football and could be a huge coup if Arsenal complete the deal.
The young prodigy has featured for France at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 level and has displayed a good eye for goal – scoring 13 times in over 33 caps.
He was also voted PSG’s academy player of the year last season, as per talkSPORT.
