Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has admitted that he feels Juventus are a great team, and that his long-term ambition is to win the Champions League.
The Netherlands international is set to star for his nation in Euro 2012 this summer, which has taken attention away from his fragile contract situation in north London.
With only 12 months left on his current deal at the Emirates Stadium the Dutch hitman’s future is unclear, with Italian champions Juventus one of a number of teams thought to be interested in signing him.
Van Persie has admitted that Antonio Conte’s men are a great team, but that his focus at the moment is playing for Netherlands in Ukraine and Poland.
“Juve? They are a great team, of course. I agreed not to discuss my future with Arsenal,” he is quoted as saying my The Sun.
“I can only say that my intention is to play in the Euros and then go on to win the Champions League.”
Arsenal are thought to have offered Van Persie a new contract that will make him the highest earner in the club’s history, but it is believed that nothing will occur until the end of Euro 2012.
