Barcelona to make January bid for Robin Van Persie

Barcelona are reportedly linked with a January move for Netherlands and Manchester United star forward Robin van Persie.

The Dutchman won the golden boot in the Premier League last season following his switch to the Red Devils from the Gunners.


However, Van Persie has failed to replicate his heroics in the current campaign, having sustained setbacks with minor injuries in between, and The Sport suggests that the Netherlands International will be looking to depart from Old Trafford during the New year following his strained relationship with manager David Moyes.


Barca boss Gerardo Martinois believed to be a keen admirer of the Dutchman's talents and will make a move for the star striker in January.


Van Persie has scored 10 goals for the Red Devils in all competitions this season.
