Manchester City clearout to fund Robin van Persie move?

Manchester City are reportedly willing to offload a number of players in order to fund a move for Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.

The 28-year-old Dutchman's future at the Emirates Stadium is still in doubt as he stalls over a new contract.

Edin Dzeko, Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor could now all be on their way out of City as they look to get their finances in line for UEFA's incoming Financial Fair Play rules, according to The Mirror.

Juventus and Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Van Persie, who is currently on international duty with the Netherlands at Euro 2012.
