Thomas Vermaelen is unwilling to sign a new contract at Arsenal, edging him a step closer to the exit door. His contract expires at the end of the forthcoming season and the club had been keen on offering him fresh terms. But the Belgium defender does not want to open talks about extending his deal. Unless Arsenal sell him in the current transfer window, it means he can sign a pre-contract agreement with a club from January. The Gunners do not want to sell their captain this summer, but also want to avoid the possibility of losing him for nothing next year. Barcelona, Manchester United and Napoli all have a firm interest in Vermaelen. Arsenal would prefer to sell Vermaelen abroad rather than to United, which will prove a difficult stumbling block to overcome for Louis van Gaal. Arsenal turned down a £7m enquiry from United earlier this summer. [Source: Daily Mail]
