It seems almost certain that Sporting CP and Veloso will be departing company this summer.
The talented anchorman has been linked with a plethora of clubs. Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Everton, AC Milan, and Juventus have all shown interest in the player in the past.
But with Arsenal requiring a replacement for the Bosman-transferred Flamini, North London could be his future destination.
At the end of the 2007-08 season, the player himself told Portuguese reporters: “I do not know if this will bemy last game for Sporting. Let's see what the future will hold.”
A release clause has been inserted in Veloso’s contract, ergo the club will be forced to release their holding midfielder in the event they receive a fee in excess of £23.7million.
For Arsenal players not in action over the summer, pre-season training will begin tomorrow where Wenger will be able to assess his squad.
The Gunners have been linked with Amaury Bischoff, Roque Santa Cruz, and Klaas Jan Huntelaar. An on/off deal for Samir Nasri is still up in the air.
