Italian agent claims Van Persie to Juve move is 'done' deal

Robin van Persie looks fed up as his exit from Arsenal continues to drag on.

 The Dutchman was seen working on his fitness at The Gunners' London Colney training ground.

 Premier League champions Manchester City, rivals Manchester United and Italian title holders Juventus are all competing for Van Persie's signature. But in a bizarre claim by a FIFA agent, he claims the deal to Italy is already done.

 Fabio Parisi, who is based in Milan and represents the Nigerian defender Tayo Taiwo, was quoted on Italian TV saying: 'I think Juventus have had a signed contract with Van Persie for some time locked away in a notary’s desk. 'It is just my opinion, but I think there’s an eight out of 10 chance the Dutchman will join the Bianconeri.

 'Juventus want to win and he is considered the ideal addition to achieve that. I don’t think Edin Dzeko is the right player for the Bianconeri.'

 While the claims are yet to be backed up, any move to Juventus could hit the skids following the news that Antonio Conte, manager of Italian Serie A winners, has been banned three months and fined €200,000 over the footballing nation's Calcioscommese match-fixing scandal.

 Better news for Van Persie is that he has been named in the Dutch squad for Louis van Gaal's squad for the friendly with Belgium later this month.
