Juventus have reportedly put aside a budget of £70m to land Arsenal forward Robin van Persie.
The 28-year-old, who has made it clear that he wants to leave the Emirates Stadium, is believed to be the subject of a three-way transfer tug-of-war involving Juve, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Juve general manager Giuseppe Marotta has held talks with van Persie's agent and is willing to pay the Gunners a transfer fee of £20m and give the player a five-year contract with an after-tax weekly wage of £190,000, according to The Mirror.
Van Persie's current contract expires in June 2013.
