Arsenal continue to be linked with a move for Mario Balotelli[GETTY]
The Gunners were in talks with QPR for Remy but baulked at the Frenchman's £80,000-a-week wages.
Remy is now heading to the USA - where Liverpool are on their pre-season tour - for a medical ahead of an £8.5million move.
And according to reports, Arsenal are again exploring a deal for Italy star Balotelli.
Mario Balotelli Player Profile
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has previously denied his interest in Balotelli, while recently insisted he is not looking to sign a new striker.
"Up front we don't need any more," said Wenger.
However, rumours continue to link the north London club with a swoop for the mercurial hitman.
Whispers persist that Arsenal's new kit suppliers Puma - who also sponsor Balotelli - want the player in the capital.
And the 23-year-old sent speculation into overdrive last week when he posed for a picture with girlfriend Fanny Neguesha in a Puma shop in front of Arsenal colours.
But Balotelli's reported wage demands of £100,000-a-week AFTER TAX could put pay to any potential move, even if AC Milan are willing to sell the former Manchester City man for a cut-price £16m.
