The 28-year-old Dutchman, who has just one year
left on his current contract, confirmed he had met with Arsene Wenger and chief
executive Ivan Gazidis and talked about his resignation.
“I’ve thought long and hard about it, but I
have decided not to extend my contract,” the Arsenal star, who has been at the
club since 2004, wrote on his website.
Van Persie, who scored 41 goals in 53 games
for club and country and was named both the PFA and Football Writers’ player of
the year last season, has yet to confirm if he wishes to leave the club this
summer or if he will see out his contract.
Premier League champions Manchester City and
Italian title-holders Juventus are among the clubs to have been repeatedly
linked with signing the Dutchman.
