The father of Arsenal star Robin van Persie has hinted a move to Juventus would be a good option.

The Dutchman has been heavily linked with a switch to Turin over the summer, though faced competition from Europe's other top clubs.

"It would make no sense to go to Barcelona when they've already got Leo Messi," Bob van Persie told El Mundo Deportivo.

"Real Madrid would be a good option, but they are not so much a team as a collection of star names, so he wouldn't really fit in there either.

"He'd never go to Manchester City, as it's impossible he would play for another Premier League side that wasn't Arsenal."
