Manchester United are willing to offer Robin van Persie an amazing payoff to clear him off the books. The Mail on Sunday says United will offer Van Persie £5million to quit the club this summer.
The 31-year-old striker has 14 months left on his £250,000-a-week contract at Old Trafford, but United officials are understood to be willing to pay the remaining half of a £10m loyalty bonus - agreed when he signed from Arsenal in 2012 - to free up wages for another striker.
Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan have both been linked with a summer move and United bosses are willing to take a cut-price fee, as they realise Van Persie will have to take a pay cut to join a Serie A side.
