Due to the Dutch international’s contract expiring this summer, the Bianconeri are chasing the player and face competiton from both Manchester United and Manchester City.

Emerging reports from the Daily Mirror outline talks between Juve and van Persie’s agents have resumed, and the Italian giants have made it clear they will top any proposal made by Manchester United.

This would include a £20 million transfer fee paid to Arsenal, and would include a five-year contract thought to be worth £190,000 a week after tax.

Manchester United had been the firm favourites to seal the deal, however they are not willing to pay more than £15 million for the striker.

Even if van Persie makes a move to  Manchester City, Juventus could still strengthen their side by making a bid for thier player Edin Dzeko.
