Palermo president Maurizio Zamperini says that Juventus are the only club to have lodged a formal bid for striker Amauri.
The 27-year-old is set to leave Palermo this summer and had been linked with an approach from Arsenal, but Zamperini has dismissed such rumours.
He told the Italian press: "There has only been Juventus. No other clubs have contacted me, neither from Spain nor from England.
"The fact remains that talks have already begun with Juve. We have authorised them to speak with the player.
"I would like to repeat that Juve are a serious club, like Palermo. They are never irresponsible and always go through the correct channels.
"We are quite close to finding a solution. Arsenal want Amauri? Not one proposal has arrived from the Gunners."
