On August 19, the "Sun" "broke the news" that Blackburn Dutch striker Van Persie personally submitted a transfer application to the team on the 18th, hoping that Blackburn would consider the previous offers from Arsenal and Manchester United. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At present, Blackburn has rejected Van Persie's request.

Manchester United showed great sincerity in recruiting Van Persie this time, offering him a transfer fee of 20 million pounds, but Blackburn vice chairman Mensa Bonsu flatly refused.

Just a day later, the 24-year-old Dutch international threw a "bombshell" that shocked the whole team and personally submitted a written request to leave the team.

'Van Persie did submit a written transfer request, but the request has been rejected by the club so far. Blackburn Rovers said in a statement that "Robin van Persie is on a long-term contract with the club. When he signed with the club, Van Persie made a promise to the club and the fans, and we expect him to keep it. ”

Van Persie's reason for seeking a move is simple: because of the arrival of Torres.

Blackburn's £27 million move to bring in Torres certainly won't put the Spanish golden boy on the bench, and with Drogba already in the Blues' attack, Van Persie basically can't see the possibility of becoming a regular in the new season.

Van Persie, who thinks he is strong enough to be the starting center forward of all teams, naturally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and directly forced the palace to the top management of Blackburn!

After the transfer application was rejected, Van Persie announced through his personal website that he would not renew his contract with Blackburn.

Van Persie wrote on his website: "I had a negotiation with the club after last season and the contract salary was not discussed because it was not my priority. Unfortunately, we disagreed too much about where I was going in the future at Blackburn. I thought about it for a long time and finally decided not to renew it. ”

Van Persie's contract with Blackburn Rovers expires in 2008, the following summer, after a number of clubs were chasing him. Blackburn could keep Robin van Persie for a year but face the danger of leaving on a free transfer next season.

In order to keep Van Persie, Monch had promised that his new contract would double his current £40,000 weekly salary to £80,000, but such an offer still did not impress Van Persie.

In the end, Monchi couldn't figure it out, so he could only report the matter to Arthur and leave it to the boss to decide.

"Then let him go!" Arthur's tone was extremely eerie, and he was clearly in a violent mood.

In Van Persie's situation, Arthur could choose to keep Van Persie on the bench for a year, or simply send him to the reserve team and completely depose him.

However, Blackburn Rovers have always been a training mecca for young players, and if Van Persie is abolished by coercion, it will inevitably have a negative impact on Blackburn's image.

After the Dutch striker announced that he would not renew his contract with Blackburn, three European giants were interested in Van Persie, namely Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus, and all three submitted trade offers to Blackburn Rovers at the first time.

The first to make an offer for Blackburn was Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, but in the face of the Red Devils, who were already gaining strength, Arthur did not want to increase the strength of his rivals, and decisively signaled Monchi to refuse.

Juventus' offer was less than £10 million, and Arthur silently said "your uncle's" in his heart and rejected it directly.

Arsene Wenger, on the other hand, picked up the phone and personally spoke to Arthur about the deal, and after the exchange, the two sides were finally willing to sit down and negotiate. Arsenal sent in club chief executive Gazdis and Blackburn Rovers sent Monchi.

When Monchi told Arthur about Arsenal's £12.5 million offer, the Blackburn boss immediately refused, and Arsenal had no intention of raising the price for a while, so the deal stalled.

The Premier League transfer market has gradually calmed down, and Van Persie's transfer issue has become the focus of attention across the country.

Following yesterday's rumours that Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are willing to sit down on Van Persie's transfer, there is new news in the British media, the "Mirror" broke the news that Arsenal and Blackburn have opened negotiations, and the two sides may reach an agreement on the figure of 20 million pounds, which will be implemented before the start of the new Premier League season.

As we all know, Blackburn did not want to sell Van Persie to his rival Arsenal before, and even shouted "If you buy Van Persie, other teams can pay 15 million pounds, but Arsenal must pay 20 million pounds", which also shows how big an obstacle Arsenal encountered in the acquisition of Van Persie's transfer.

With the Dutch striker insisting on not going to the Emirates Stadium, Blackburn Rovers are now forced to negotiate a deal with Arsenal.

The British media "Mirror" is optimistic about Arsenal's deal to buy Van Persie, saying that 12 million pounds can sign the Blackburn striker; However, another newspaper is not so optimistic, with the latest news from The Telegraph revealing that Arsenal's first offer for Robin van Persie was not £12 million, but £10 million, and manager Arsene Wenger never wanted to raise the offer, believing that a 24-year-old striker who has not yet shown the best in the world is not worth that much transfer fee.

While Van Persie has scored 11 goals in the Premier League this past season, Arsene Wenger has a ceiling of £13 million to buy him. The Telegraph states that Arsenal's £12.5 million offer is being considered after Van Persie's offer was rejected.

Arsene Wenger has no chance of signing Robin van Persie due to Arsenal's low offer, and if they miss out on the Blackburn Rovers striker, then Arsenal still have a B plan. Insight for Offside points out that if Arsenal are unable to sign Robin van Persie, then Ferguson will re-pursue Mackay, who has shone in German football over the past few seasons.

In fact, just as the negotiations broke up, Arthur and Arsene Wenger picked up the phone again, and the two sides bargained over the phone to finally settle on a floating transfer fee of 2.5 million pounds.

On August 22, Arsenal FC officially announced to the outside world through the team's official website that Dutch striker Robin van Persie is one step closer to officially completing the deal to Arsenal FC.

According to media reports such as the British "Mirror" and "Goal.com", the Dutch striker has officially completed the medical examination on August 21 local time, and he is just about to complete the signing and will officially appear at the Arsenal club.

On Thursday evening local time, Van Persie, accompanied by Arsenal club officials, went to Bridgewater Hospital in London for a routine pre-transfer medical examination. After the medical examination is completed, the next step is to wait for Van Persie and Arsenal to successfully complete the signing, and the two clubs can announce the completion of the transfer.

According to the media, Arsenal offered Van Persie a generous contract for four years with a weekly salary of up to £65,000.

In addition to the handsome salary that will be paid to Van Persie himself, Arsenal will also pay Blackburn Rovers a transfer fee of £15 million, of which £2.5 million will be part of a conditional variable bonus. According to the contract, Van Persie only needs to win the top three scorers in the Premier League season for the next four years, and Arsenal must pay this part of the bonus.

The media also pointed out that Van Persie's transfer deal is likely to be officially finalized early Friday morning local time. Arsenal must register Van Persie by 12 noon local time on 24 August for the second round of the Premier League season, before the Dutch can play the Gunners' local derby against Tottenham.

The 2007-08 season will kick off on August 25 at Tottenham Hotspur. Arsenal have faced stubborn resistance every time they have faced Tottenham away from home over the years, and if Robin van Persie can represent the Gunners in this round, it will undoubtedly greatly increase Arsenal's chances of winning away games.

After signing a new four-year contract with Arsenal, Robin van Persie spoke out again to the London media.

'Blackburn Rovers are a great club and I always have good feelings for Blackburn Rovers but after a couple of years sometimes you feel like you need a new challenge and I found a new challenge at Arsenal and I really feel like I'm surrounded by trophies and I really feel like the timing is right to come here. I don't think it would be better to come early. Everything is predestined. ”

'When I signed Blackburn Rovers a few years ago, I felt it was the right decision to stay with Blackburn Rovers and continue playing for the Blues because I had an unfinished business ahead of me. Now, after last summer, I want to look for a new challenge and joining Arsenal is my biggest challenge right now and I think every day now life is telling me that I made the right choice. It's not bad for Blackburn, no player is bigger than the club, Blackburn will always challenge for the title and stay at the top level, I'm just getting ready to leave and try something new. ”

Arthur looked at Van Persie, who was talking about himself and feeling good, in the news, and sneered: "You are ready to enjoy the feeling of never winning a championship at Blackburn." ”

In the previous life, without Arthur's version of Blackburn, Blackburn had not won a championship for many years, and after having a strong Blue Devil in this life, can the sought-after change fate?

One of the important factors why Arthur sold Van Persie to Arsenal is that he believes that even with Van Persie's return, the Gunners are not to be worried.

However, Van Persie's unexpected departure from the team is still a big problem for Arthur, that is, the team's forward depth is a little insufficient.

Introducing Torres, but leaving Van Persie, is more or less a bit of a tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
