Juventus are piecing together a new offer for Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira.

The Italian champions are refusing to concede defeat in their quest to tempt Arsenal into selling their skipper.

Officials from the two clubs met earlier this week in London to discuss Juve's bid for the France international, with Arsenal giving a lukewarm response to the proposal.

The Gunners are reluctant to give in to Juve's desire to sign Vieira but they are finding the Old Lady to be stubborn suitors.

An initial offer of €7 million (£4.8 million) plus Stephan Appiah was quickly rejected by Arsenal, with reports suggesting the FA Cup winners want €20 million (£13.6 million) for Vieira.

But, if a player/exchange is required, then Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is demanding Jonathan Zebina is included in the package.

Juve are currently loath to let the defender leave the club, while they have already dismissed any notion of David Trezeguet being part of the deal.

A new round of talks between the clubs is expected next week, with Juve's general manager Luciano Moggi anxious for a fresh meeting.

Moggi insists Juve will not be calling time on their pursuit of Vieira as the Serie A outfit look to construct a deal which will persuade Arsenal to sell the midfield powerhouse.

"Arsenal don't want to sell him," conceded Moggi.

"Does he cost too much? I haven't said that.

"Anyway, we must meet again."

Juventus rubbish Vieira talk Saturday 9 July, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus transfer mogul Luciano Moggi has denied that the Serie A giants are chasing Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira.

A notoriously slippery communicator, Moggi has expressed his admiration for the France captain in the past, but insists that his recent trip to London was completely unrelated.

"There have never been any negotiations over Vieira," he told L'Equipe. "I went to London for other players, not Vieira.
"Yes, I met with (Arsenal Coach) Arsene Wenger, but that's because he's a friend of mine – not to discuss Vieira's transfer."

The director general's latest comments are unlikely to end the speculation, but could indicate that their bid for the 29-year-old has failed, either because Juve are unwilling to meet Arsenal's asking price or because the player himself has rejected the move.

Vieira has often said in the past that he is unwilling to pursue his career in Italy after suffering racial abuse during his time at Milan, and on his travels with Arsenal since then.

Meanwhile, Moggi also rubbished rumours that Juventus have received an offer from Chelsea for France striker David Trezeguet.

"Chelsea have never approached us. The newspapers talk about a £37m offer, but that's the newspapers for you. Chelsea have made no offer and, besides, Trezeguet isn't for sale.

"He's 28, we're very happy with him and he can play at the highest level for a long time to come.

"We let Zidane go to Real four years ago, but he was 30. We wouldn't have let him go before that."

I think we shouldn't sell Appiah, he is a great player just played out of position, look at this formation:

--------------------Buffon
Zebina---Cannavaro---Thuram---Zambrotta
-------------------Emerson
------Camoranesi----Appiah----Nedved
---------Trezeguet-----Ibrahimovic


That way Appiah would finnaly get his rose as a more offensive midfielder so he should produce football that he played in Bresca and still plays for Ghana.
