Amauri will not be at Arsenal next season

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has denied the club have received an offer from Arsenal for striker Amauri.

Highly-rated striker Amauri has been linked with several top European clubs and Palermo recently began negotiating with Juventus for the transfer of the 27-year-old this summer.

The player's agent claimed last week that Arsenal had expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian.

"We have not received any offers from the Gunners," said Zamparini "Other clubs have contacted from Spain and England, but the problem remains his passport."

Zamparini did confirm that Palermo are in talks with Juventus over a possible switch to Turin and that they had given their Serie A rivals permission to talk to Amauri.
