Arsenal Transfers: 4 Reasons Robin Van Persie Must Join Man City

We examine the reasons why a move to City makes sense for RVP right now.

1. Money

Let€™s start with the obvious. At 28, van Persie€™s next move could be his last. Zlatan Ibrahimovic€™s ‚14million-per-year- after tax wages at PSG show that the money still flows in even if you are thirty, but realistically if RVP wants a final payday while still playing in a top league, then this is the time. City will happily make him one of their top earners, earning at least £200,000 a week, with plenty of add ons. No one can match that, except maybe teams in the Middle East and China, but van Persie is nowhere near ready to take such a step down. If it€™s personal reward van Persie is after, Manchester City is the place to be.
