Manchester City will step up their pursuit of Arsenal's Robin van Persie now that Holland are out of Euro 2012.
Despite Arsenal's reluctance to lose yet another player to City, it is understood that coach Roberto Mancini is still determined to land the Dutch international.
There has been no approach made to Arsenal yet by City but that now seems inevitable in the coming days and weeks.
Van Persie is also on the wanted list of Italian giants Juventus as well as Barcelona in Spain.
With one year left on his contract at Arsenal, Van Persie has been offered a new deal at the Emirates. City, though, have the power to offer the 28-year-old in excess of £200,000 a week as well as the chance to win the Barclays Premier League.
If City are to push a deal through they will need to offload one of their other high earners such as Emmanuel Adebayor or Carlos Tevez.
