The President of Arsenal Peter Hill-Wood was adamant that the club will not pay staggering salaries of Robin Van Persie just to keep him at the club. The Dutch forward is of interest to clubs like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester City, his future will ultimately be decided after the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine.

"He is a key player for us and an excellent captain. But if a club came and offered him a weekly salary of 200 thousand pounds, I fear that we are not able to compete, "said the Arsenal boss.

"There are players like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes at Manchester United, players who are loyal to one club, but they are several nowadays. I believe we can achieve understanding with Robin and eventually he will continue his contract. We have secured a new player in the face of Lukas Podolski and hope that we will attract more. Actually I am sure in this, "added Peter Hill-Wood.
