Wenger Rubbishes Flamini To Juventus Talk
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has strongly denied reports linking midfielder Mathieu Flamini with a move to Italian giants Juventus.
At his press conference prior to his side’s Champions League quarter final clash with Liverpool, Wenger stressed the Serie A club were not interested in signing Flamini.
The Frenchman has yet to finalise a new contract with the Gunners despite stating his wish to stay at the Emirates, and would be allowed to leave for free at the end of the season if a club came in for him.
Juventus have been strongly linked with the player and reports today claimed that an agreement had been reached between the two parties regarding a summer switch to Italy.
These reports however have been instantly dismissed by the Gunners boss insisting that Juventus have assured him they are not after Flamini.
When asked if the information was correct, Wenger stated: "No. Juventus called me and told me that they were not interested in Mathieu Flamini."
Whereas Flamini has repeatedly stated his desire to remain at the London club, it is reported talks are stalling over his wage demands which appear to have risen since he became such an integral part of the Arsenal midfield alongside Cesc Fabregas.
