Juventus have had a €10 million offer for Arsenal striker Robin van Persie rejected by the North London club, according to an Italian report.
Juve had tabled an unsuccessful bid for Van Persie, who scored 27 goals for the Gunners last season and has been the subject of speculation linking him with Juventus, Manchester City and Paris St Germain.
The report said Juve would have to increase their offer to stand any chance of landing the Netherlands international.
On Sunday, Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini suggested that he was unlikely to sign Van Persie for the Premier League champions.
City have been strongly linked with a swoop for 28-year-old Van Persie, whose future, having entered the final 12 months of his contract at the Emirates.
Mancini told Sport Italia: "Van Persie? He is an Arsenal player and I don't want to disrespect Wenger. "We have four strikers and we will start the pre-season in five days.
