Espanyol star Mario Hermoso in action.

The 23-year-old, having failed to make the grade at the Bernabeu, has gone from strength to strength ever since and his performances have been so impressive that Hermoso recently received his first call up to the Spain squad.Real are interested in luring him back to the capital and, according to Marca, Los Blancos can re-sign Hermoso for just 6.5million as per the terms of his move to Espanyol– and they are currently considering a swoop.2

Hermoso battles with his idol Sergio Ramos.

However, Arsenal are also hot on Hermoso’s heels with Gunners boss Unai Emery said to be a big fan of his compatriot.The north London club have reportedly scouted the defender extensively and they could be about to launch a bid of their own. Should Madrid stump up the required money and Arsenal have a bid accepted, it would then come down to the player to decide who he wants to join.Alongside David Lopez, Hermoso has helped Espanyol concede just eight LaLiga goals this campaign.
