Juventus could be set to take advantage of Mathieu Flamini’s contract dispute with Arsenal, by signing him on a Bosman next summer.‘The Times’ today reports how Flamini, who’s contract at the Emirates runs out in June, has rejected the club’s offer of a new deal.
The 23-year-old seemed certain to leave Arsenal last season due to limited chances in the first-team, however this term he has been a virtual ever-present and has been absolutely outstanding in the centre of midfield alongside Cesc Fabregas.
Flamini is said to be unimpressed by Arsenal’s latest offer - said to be in the reagion of £35,000 a week - and is considering leaving the club.
“I am a free agent in January, so we will see what happens,” the Frenchman said.
“I am happy here, but we will see. We have so many games in December, so it is very difficult to be concentrated on this kind of thing as we are playing every three days.”
From January 1, Flamini will be permitted to talk to interested clubs about the possibility of a Bosman free transfer.
Juventus are well known to be in the market for a centre midfielder, and Flamini, who has some Italian ancestry, has said in the past that he wants to play in Serie A.
The Bianconeri are already being tipped to sign Aston Villa’s Olof Mellberg on a free transfer for next season, and it seems Flamini could follow suit.
