The Gunners' higher officials are understood to have held talks with Juve manager Beppe Marotta over the sale of the Montenegrin international in the current transfer window.<br />

Reports earlier had suggested that Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were vying for the player's signature on a temporary basis, but The Mirror reports that the Turin club are not interested in a short-term deal, and want to cash in on the player in January.<br />

Vucinic has failed to cement his place in the first-team this season, following the arrivals of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente in the summer.
