Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi has reportedly turned down the opportunity to join Arsenal in this summer's transfer window as part of a swap deal involving Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Icardi has been left out of Inter's pre-season tour and the controversial striker is widely expected to leave Antonio Conte's side this summer in search of pastures new.
Aubameyang, meanwhile, has been linked with a switch to Manchester United after an impressive 2018-19 campaign saw him score 31 goals in all competitions.
According to Sport Mediaset, the Gunners made an offer for Icardi as part of a move involving Aubameyang, but the South American made it clear that he was not interested in a switch to the Emirates Stadium.
Indeed, the report claims that the 26-year-old is determined to secure a move to Juventus ahead of the 2019-20 season.
A quiet transfer window has seen Unai Emery's side complete just one deal thus far, with 18-year-old attacker Gabriel Martinelli arriving from Brazilian outfit Ituano.
