London's "Arsenal" forward Robin van Persie has no desire to move to Italy and wear the jersey of Turin's "Juventus" club.

The English press reports that the "Serie A" champions were the first of the major European clubs to publicly announce that they will try to acquire the prolific Dutchman.

However, van Persie has rejected all offers from Italian teams, as he believes it would be a step back in his career.
