Negotiations between Robin van Persie and Arsenal this week produced no resolution on his new contract and it is believed the striker will wait until after Euro 2012 to see what offers he gets from other clubs.

Van Persie, who joined up with the Netherlands squad yesterday, is thought to have been offered £130,000 a week by Arsenal, with a £5m signing-on fee. Both Manchester City and Juventus are monitoring the situation closely.
