The Italy international was a pivotal player in the Old
Lady's double-winnng campaign and run through to the Champions League final, but a new deal has yet to
be agreed to keep the midfielder in Turin.
Sources close to Marchisio have disclosed that he wants to remain
at his boyhood club and the side he has made over 300 appearances for, however
negotiations have slowed to renew his current deal which expires at the end of
next season.
The Gunners and Brendan Rodgers' Kop side could move for the
tireless midfielder in the coming weeks if no agreement is reached.
Stefano Marchisio, his father and agent, told Calciomercato:
"The truth is, apart from some former Juventus players, I haven't met with
anyone, I'm waiting for a call from the management."
"I think we could meet soon, perhaps within the next seven
days. Claudio has repeatedly demonstrated the will to remain at Juve, but we
know that it takes two to make a marriage.
"The ball is in the Old Lady's court, I don't think
they'd let a player like him go. If we don't find an agreement, we'll look around.
I've received many calls from top clubs in the Premier League and
the Bundesliga."
