Robin van Persie's future looks more uncertain than ever, while one club is in pole position to sign Raheem Sterling - it's today's newspaper stories.
Van Persie holds ‘crisis talks’ as he ponders exit – The Sun have pictures of Robin van Persie meeting his agent yesterday and claim the subject of their discussion was his potential departure from Manchester United after what was been a desperately underwhelming season.
“There is just a year left on RVP’s contract and Manchester United have made no moves to extend it,” reports the paper.
“The striker met his agent Kees Vos on Thursday in Cheshire’s Alderley Edge after he was left out of the last two United line-ups — his options are either stick it out a year or take a lucrative offer from Turkey. Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is set to speak with his countryman next week to explain his role next season.”
The Sun says Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are both ready to keep Van Persie on £220,000-per week and are readying three-year deals.
Paper Round’s view – ‘Player meets agent’ isn’t much of a story but writer Neil Custis is a veteran of the United beat and suggestions of ‘crisis talks’ appear to be well informed. After all, what other subject would be on the agenda with Van Persie so transparently failing to do the business for United this season? A change of tack is required and at 31, a big payday in Turkey is presumably very attractive.
It’s time to part ways.
