City ready to offer Van Persie a £40 million deal
Manchester City will offer striker Robin Van Persie a £40 million deal deal to join them in the off season.
City are confident that Van Persie will not sign a new contract with the Gunners and feel they can land the Arsenal striker with a £30m bid.
Van Persie has just 18 months left on his £80,000-a-week contract but City are planning to offer him a four-year deal worth £200,000 a week.
The Dutch star, 28, will line up against City in Manchester for tomorrow's big match. And he knows this summer will provide his last chance to make one last big money move and he will also realise he has more chance of winning silverware with City.
Van Persie only has one FA Cup winners' medal to show for his seven years at Arsenal and is in red-hot form scoring 33 Premier League goals so far for Arsenal in 2011.
