Premier League giants Arsenal are reportedly unhappy with Real Madrid's admiration of Scotland standout Kieran Tierney.
Several Spanish reports state Florentino Perez and his desire in their key man has irked the Gunners hierarchy ahead of a defining run of fixtures.
Cule Mania add Arsenal have no interest in doing business with a player they value in excess of £50million and they want to usher in a new era at the Emirates.
Barcelona are also noted admirers but it's understood Real Madrid won't break the bank for a player who would compete with Ferland Mendy for regular game time.
Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti - expected to remain in the Spanish capital for the long haul - waxed lyrical about Tierney while he was at Napoli.
And Celtic are keeping a keen eye on proceedings due to their iron-cast 15 per cent sell-on fee for a player who has become a smash-hit at Arsenal.
He is also in the mix to become the club's next captain with Norwegian playmaker Martin Odegaard also a live option for Mikel Arteta.
Tierney penned a bumper Arsenal contract last year that keeps him in North London until 2026 and he is beloved by supporters.
