Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reportedly decided to leave striker Robin van Persie out of the squad traveling to Asia for the North London club's pre-season schedule.
It had been speculated this morning that the Frenchman was considering whether to leave the 28-year-old on home soil as his Arsenal side prepare for the new season.
While Van Persie has been open about his intentions not to sign a new contract with the Gunners, some have suggested that the Netherlands international could perform a u-turn and stay at the club.
Despite these rumours, it appears as though the prolific frontman has played his last game for Arsenal with Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus thought to have lodged bids for the striker, according to BBC Sport.
It is believed that United, City and the Italian outfit have offered bids in the region of £15m but the Gunners are only interested in the £25m-£30m bracket.
Serie A side AC Milan are also thought to be interested following the sale of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Paris Saint-Germain.
