Robin Van Persie Transfer News: Striker's Future at Emirates Is in His Own Hands

Robin van Persie's playing days at the Emirates are in his own hands now, with the Gunners stating that they will sell him if he wants to leave.

In what has already become the most sensational story in the summer transfer window, van Persie's reluctance to sign a new deal with Arsenal has led to interest from several high profile clubs, and why wouldn't they, with the Premier League Golden Boot winner potentially available.

His future at the club will be decided after Euro 2012 is complete.

Arsenal fans will remember all too well the last-minute chaos in last year's transfer window which saw the club sell Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri—van Persie could well be the next ex-Gunner to join the list.

Juventus, Manchester City and Real Madrid have all shown a strong interest in the Dutchman, with only the Italian giants able to offer an immediate path out. Both City and Madrid are needing to sell players before they can pick up van Persie—opening the door for Juve to strike a potential deal.

According to Mirror Football, Juventus are prepared to offer at least £25 million for the striker, as they prepare to return to the Champions League. And whilst this doesn't match the weekly money that the Citizens can offer, it does allow van Persie to exit the Premier League and rarely play his old club.

Arsenal do not expect the striker to sign a new deal with the club—despite offering him a three year contract worth £130,000 a week, as well as £5million signing fee.

Van Persie netted 30 league goals for Arsenal in the most recent season and will most likely make a decision on his playing future sometime later this summer.

I can't see him joining another Premier League club—regardless of the money that City throw at him—which leaves Juventus as the clear front-runners for the Dutchman.

Or, after all the rumors and speculation, he could end up staying at the Emirates.

His future is in his own hands now.

Do you think Robin van Persie will remain at Arsenal?
