Inter Milan bid £25million to lure Robin van Persie from
Arsenal
The Italian champions are preparing a £25million bid for the
Arsenal striker who is currently away on World Cup duty with
Holland.
Inter boss Mourinho wants to transform the club that has won
four consecutive Serie A titles into champions of Europe.
He sees Van Persie, 25, as a key recruit. Van Persie is
currently negotiating a new contract with the Gunners. He has two
years remaining on his current deal, but the Arsenal hierarchy are
keen to seal a new deal now rather than allow time to go by and
face the threat of him leaving as a free agent in 2011.
It looks like being a crunch summer for the Dutchman as he
attempts to resolve his long term future. Inter know that they will
face a massive challenge in prising van Persie out of the Emirates.
His wife Bouchra is expecting their second child and the family are
settled in London.”
