The France international is being linked with moves to some of Europe's finest, including Manchester United, Juventus and The Gunners.
However, Mavuba believes with the likes of Gilberto Silva, Denilson and Abou Diaby already vying for starts under Arsene Wenger, competition at the Emirates may be too fierce.
"Arsenal and Juventus? They are both big clubs," the 23-year-old told But!
"Arsenal are a super team with a fantastic coach, but they also have a lot of defensive midfielders."
With Euro 2008 on the cards for Mavuba next summer, he is keen to make the right choice in order to cement his international place.
Mavuba, who has not ruled out extending his stay with Bordeaux, knows his next footballing decision could have a major impact on his life.
"I may have played my last match at Stade Chaban-Delmas. No, in fact, I don't know for the moment," he continued.
"I have a choice to make for my career. I know that it is a big juncture in my life. I am 23 and have several opportunities.
"I can't make a mistake ahead of the 2008 European championship. If I have to go, I will ask for certain conditions.
"I am not ruling out any offers or ideas. I know what I have with Bordeaux, but I am not sure of what is expecting me elsewhere."

So they're saying the only defender we're getting is Grygera and will subsequently use two left-backs as centerbacks. Fucking Tuttosport.
This better be a joke. That's only a slight improvement to our current team. We need more. Almiron was good for Empoli, but we don't know if he can deal with the pressure as a Juventus player and continue his form consistently. Same goes for Mavuba even more. Grygera is good (but not great) as a right back, but no leader as CB. Even Chiellini is not good enough on that position IMO.
Basically it says that we will only buy Almiron and Mavuba if Trez doesn't leave. Those are definately no "Big signings" and I don't see how these signing guarantee us to be "competetive".

Rio Mavuba is gonna sign for us, 8 mil. €. It's not official, but will be soon. WONDERFUL NEWS!
"Ce n'est pas officiel, mais ça y est, Rio Mavuba signera avec la Juventus de Turin pour la saison prochaine et celles à venir.
C'est un pur produit bordelais qui nous quitte et on espère qu'il franchira enfin ce palier pour être international plus souvent, plus régulièrement.
Merci pour tout Rio, et à bientôt !"
