Arsenal defender William Gallas has rejected the offer of a £1.64 million (€2m) per annum wage deal from Juventus because it's not enough, according to L'Equipe.

Gallas, who will be out of contract with the Gunners when his deal expires on June 30, has turned down the propsed two-year deal from the Old Lady, telling the Serie A outfit that he wants at least £3.28m (€4m).

The story comes less than 24 hours after his agent Etienne Mendy told Italian media the player "would be happy to play for Juventus".

It seems though that Gallas has had a change of heart, the sticking point being the financial package Juve have offered.

Panathinaikos and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be interested in the France international, but both clubs have baulked at the player's wage demands.
