Arsenal would love Amauri - Agent
-
Amauri's agent has confirmed that Arsenal have joined the race to sign the highly-rated striker, who looks set to quit Palermo this summer.
Italian sources claimed earlier this week that the Brazilian-born frontman more than £60,000-per-week to move to Emirates Stadium.
Juventus had been leading the race to land the 27-year-old, ahead of Real Madrid and Liverpool - who have also made offers for the player.
But now Arsenal have made a late bid to land the striker - who Palermo value at £19million (25million euros).
"Arsenal is now another team added to the list of teams interested in Amauri," the player's agent Mariano Grimaldi told Terra Brazil.
"We have already received proposals from Liverpool and Real Madrid, in addition to what we already had from Juventus."
Amauri will soon be eligible for an Italian passport, which as well as making him eligible to play for the Azzurri, will mean he can move to the Premier League without any work permit issues.
