Arsenal's Van Persie not ruling out Juventus

Robin van Persie has not ruled out a move to Juventus who are ready to battle with Manchester City for the Arsenal captain. The Holland international insists he will not let talk of his future distract him from Euro 2012, although he has described Italian Serie A champions Juventus as a "great team". Van Persie is out of contract at the Emirates in 12 months' time and has agreed to not speak about his plans for next season until after the European Championship finals. But the Dutch hitman praised Italian champions Juventus, telling Italian website Tuttosport: "Juve? They are a great team, of course. "I agreed not to discuss my future with Arsenal. I can only say that my intention is to play in the European Championship. And then go on to win the Champions League." Recent contract extension talks with the Dutch striker have stalled despite Arsenal having offered Van Persie a new three-year deal worth £130,000 per week - plus a £5million signing-on bonus. Van Persie enjoyed a stellar year at Arsenal, scoring 37 goals to help the Londoners turn around their season and qualify for the Champions League. It would take an offer in the region of £25 million to sign Van Persie with City looking to offload Edin Dzeko in a bid to fund the Arsenal talisman. Arsenal are taking a hardline approach to their contract negotiations with Van Persie. The club's chief executive, Ivan Gazidis, met with Van Persie's agent, Kees Vos, for another round of discussions last week, but still no agreement has been reached.
