manchester city offer robin van persie 250k a week to leave arsena

The Dutch international has only a year left on his contract at the Emirates Stadium, leading to speculation over where his future may lie.
City are already blessed with talented options in their forward line, with boss Roberto Mancini able to call upon the services of Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko, Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli.
But the Italian may feel his table toppers would be strengthened with 37-goal forward Van Persie to call upon next season.
According to the Daily Star, they are prepared to pay him a quarter of a million pounds each week - which equates to £12 million a year - in order to make the switch to the Etihad Stadium.

Arsenal are sure not to let him go without a fight, despite having signed Germany international Lukas Podolski to add to their own group of strikers.
Talks are expected between the Gunners and Van Persie over a new contract at the end of the season, but these could be impacted by the declaration of a huge City offer.
