Manchester United striker Robin van Persie is for sale according to the Guardian’s Jamie Jackson.
Speaking to Talksport Jackson stated: “Robin van Persie is for sale.”
Jackson also revealed that Van Persie’s reported agreement with Fenerbahçe could come down to whether the Süper Lig club can match his £250,000-a-week wages.
“With regard to the Fenerbahce story, let’s just wait and see. It could be a timing thing. There could be money issues in and around that [deal],” he added.
“Can they pay Van Persie what he’s getting at United? It’s nearly £250,000-a-week. Let’s just see on that one.”
