Inter 'eyeing Van Persie swoop'

Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini is looking to lure Manchester United striker Robin van Persie to Serie A, according to reports.

The Daily Telegraph claims that the Nerazzurri boss is again keen on the Dutchman, having missed out on a deal to sign the ex-Arsenal forward before his switch to Old Trafford in 2012.

However, any move from Inter is likely to happen at the end of the season, when Van Persie enters the final year of his contract with the Red Devils.

Mancini's bid to sign the United frontman could be further hampered by the £10m loyalty bonus that the 31-year-old is rumoured to be entitled to if he stays at club for the duration of his current deal.

Van Persie has scored three goals since Louis van Gaal took over at United.
