Van Persie will not be joining Real Madrid

There had been speculation that Robin Van Persie could want to leave Arsenal this summer with Real Madrid being the most likely destination for the Dutchman.

The Daily Star is reporting that Van Persie wants to stay at Arsenal and win trophies with the club.

Van Persie said, “In the second part of last season I scored 18 league goals. I believe this could be a really good year for me.

“I want to win trophies but winning doesn’t come from out of the blue.

“We didn’t have a World Cup or European Championships during the summer, so we can prepare really well this year.”

It was suggested that Jose Mourinho could tempt Van Persie to join him in Spain and help him put an end to his 6 seasons without a trophy at Arsenal. I can not see Van Persie leaving Arsenal right now, even if Nasri and Fabregas leave. And why would he go to Real Madrid of all sides where he will most likely be sitting on the bench and who is to say Real will win trophies this coming season especially with Barcelona looking stronger and stronger.
