Arsenal have failed with a move for Red Bull Salzburg defender Dayot Upamecano.
Sport says the Gunners have been in talks for the 18 year-old and a proposal was tabled to the youngster this week.
However, the 18 year-old rejected the offer.
Upamecano's priority is to sign for Barcelona, which are also interested in the French defender.
After Samuel Umtiti, Lucas Digne and Jeremy Mathieu, the 18 year-old Red Bull Salzburg prospect could be the next French defender to sign for the Blaugrana.
