Villarreal are keen to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia in the summer.
Almunia has never been considered first choice at Arsenal since joining the club from Celta Vigo in 2004.
The Spaniard has made 42 appearances for The Gunners, but the bulk of those have come in cup competitions.
He has started just one Premiership game this season, but prior to Sunday's Carling Cup final, voiced his determination to become the club's No.1.
With Jens Lehmann likely to leave Emirates Stadium at the end of the season, the keeper's job could be up for grabs next term.
However, reports in Spain suggest Villarreal, who brought in Robert Pires and Pascal Cygan from Arsenal last year, want to tempt Almunia back to his homeland.
A Yellow Submarines director told the Spanish media: "He is a priority for us."
Sebastian Viera and Mariano Barbosa have shared the goalkeeping duties at Villarreal this season, but neither has impressed, prompting the interest in Almunia.
