Edu hits out at Gunners over contract

14 April 2012

Edu has hit out at Arsenal for stalling over offering him a new contract.

The Brazilian's deal expires in the summer and he has been linked with Spanish sides Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.

"I'm not sure if I want to stay or not because the club have let the situation go on this far," he said.

"If they had really wanted me to sign they should have come up with an offer six months before indicating they wanted to sign me and that's made me think."

"There is a meeting planned for January 6 or 7 to sort it out with Arsenal.

"I'm going to make my decision after the meeting later this week."

Edu added on BBC Sport online: "I've just heard stories from the news that the Madrid president Florentino Perez, the Valencia people, as well as Barcelona are interested.

"That's nice, but I've never talked to them, so I can't say they want me sign 100%."
