Arsenal have joined Juventus and Roma the race to sign Manchester City defender Matija Nastasic
The 21-year-old centre-back has been linked with a move away from the Citizens following the arrival of Eliaquim Mangala from Porto.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are keep to snap the €20 million-rated Serbian up should Thomas Vermaelen leave the club.
The Belgian is thought to be close to a move to Manchester United, while Arsene Wenger has long been an admirer of Nastasic, ever since his time with Fiorentina.
Juventus are also keen as they seek a replacement for 33-year-old Andrea Barzagli, who will likely be out of action for two months with a heel problem.
Meanwhile, Roma are also said to be interested in the player who made just 13 Premier League appearances last season.
