Chelsea has abandoned hopes of signing Ruud
Van Nistelrooij from PSV, leaving Arsenal as favorite to land the Dutchman.

Arsenal could finance the end-of-season move for 23-year-old Van Nistelrooij, who is rated at 18 million pounds ($28.8
million), by selling French midfielder Emmanuel Petit, Dutch winger Marc Overmars, Croatian forward Davor Suker and either David Seaman or Alex Manninger.

Overmars is a 12 million-pound target for Barcelona, even though he has four years left to run on his contract. Sukeris set to join West Ham, while Italian clubs Lazio and AC Milan have expressed interest in Petit, who has three years to run on his contract.

Arsenal forward Nwankwo Kanu, however, is set to sign a new contract that will bring the 23-year-old Nigerian 25,000 pounds a
week.

and most likely is that van nistelrooy will be joining the italian league
maybe juve,inter,milan lazio,roma or parma...

We don't need him at Inter.

It is possible that Van Nistelrooij could be joining an Italian team, but that's highly unlikely since he has already expressed his feelings that above anything else he wants to play in the English Premier League. And another possibility is that a Spanish team, possibly Real Madrid or Barcelona could offer him a dream salary, so don't keep your hopes up just yet that he is coming to one of Italy's top teams.

He will probably move to the premiership. He has said that his style of play would be good there. I think ManU are favourites to sign him, especially since Solskjaer is leaving (I think).
