JUVENTUS' bid for Robin Van Persie may be the only one left on the table for Arsenal's star striker after Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini admitted doubts over his transfer to City.
The Italian club had previously admitted that the price for the Arsenal front man was too high but with the comments from Roberto Mancini admitting defeat over the striker - the Italian club has been inspired once more.
According to various sources, Roberto Mancini said: "Van Persie? No, I don't think he will come here."
The comments mean Van Persie's hopes of joining the Barclays Premier League champions now look remote with Mancini admitting he does not expect the player in his ranks next season.
Van Persie had had his hopes set on a move to Manchester City but the Italian club are keen for a move.

Juventus director-general Beppe Morotta hinted that Van Persie would be a star signing, but is concerned over the price Arsenal are asking for.
He said: "It's necessary to always have dreams and ambitions, but at the same time you also have to contend with the reality of everyday facts."
The club have already offered £20million for the player and offered Van Persie a £190,000 a week salary after tax.

It might just be. I don't think, given the reality of The Epl and Serie A, that it would be possible to lure a player of that calibre away, without at the very least offering him a sum thats in the region of what is being offered elsewhere. They saw how it worked out with Aguero, and this is make or break as a summer IMO. You can't go on about a top player for two seasons and not deliver. I do believe Juve have a very clear intention to sign somebody of that calibre, and perhaps this one time, even break the bank to sign him.
I only understood 50 % of your post, but that part of it is correct. We're not signing a top player this summer. The FIGC-thing has eliminated every chance of that, because we now have to spend money on replacements for Bonucci and Pepe. Astori is already being linked, and he's valuated at 12 million euros.
Juve might not be 'on trial', but we got royally f*cked. Again.
