Juve In Surprise Van Persie Link
According to News of the World, Juve are lining up a ₤15million bid for Van Persie in preparation for life after Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved, the latter of whom is set to retire after the coming campaign.
The news comes despite the Bianconeri’s insistence that they will not be recruiting any more outfield players following the signing of Christian Poulsen from Sevilla. Indeed, the Italian giants have accordingly dropped their interest in Liverpool playmaker Xabi Alonso, who appeared all but certain to make the switch to Turin.
But it could prove to be a clever ruse designed to put the Old Lady’s competitors off their guard before she swoops in with one final coup to placate the restless supporters, who have been very vocal about their dissatisfaction with the club’s dealings thus far.
The Gunners, meanwhile, can scarcely afford to become embroiled in another transfer saga. They have already lost Aliaksandr Hleb to Barcelona after a drawn-out negotiation process, and Emmanuel Adebayor looks set to follow suit.
The latter’s departure would leave the Londoners decidedly thin up top; Van Persie’s additional exit would leave them decimated. Arsene Wenger is already without injured hitman Eduardo da Silva, meaning only youngsters Theo Walcott, Nicklas Bendtner and Carlos Vela would be available for the first part of the season.
The less physical nature of Italian football could well lure Van Persie to Italy, as the 24-year-old has suffered an endless string of injuries since arriving in the Premier League four years ago.
Furthermore, the Dutch forward has expressed doubts over Arsenal’s money management. The offer of a mega-money contract at Juve could thus see him follow former team-mate Mathieu Flamini to Serie A.

What a way to put it but that's actually true. And when it comes to football, that picture is a bit more exaggerated.
