Arsenal will find out in the next 24 hours if Mathieu Flamini is staying at the club and Arsene Wenger is hopeful he will not move on.
The French midfielder, who has been a revelation this season, falls out of contract in the summer and will be able to walk away on a free transfer unless a new deal can be hammered out.
Italian giants Inter Milan and Juventus are both keen to snap up the player but the Gunners have made what they believe is a good offer to Flamini and hope he decides to stay at the Emirates Stadium.
"Certainly we should get an answer today or tomorrow," Wenger revealed. "I'm always positive because I believe the link he has with the club will be stronger than all the other different attractions that he can have.
"I know that if it's down to football then he will stay here. If it's down to football or financial resources he might not stay here. He is free to choose a different direction, everybody is free out of contract and you have to respect that."
