Arsenal captain Robin van Persie could reportedly perform a surprising u-turn by committing his future to the club, just days after revealing he would not sign a new deal. Van Persie will be out of contract this time next year, and last week revealed in a statement that he had decided against extending his stay at the Emirates Stadium following a disagreement regarding the club's future direction. It has since been suggested that the 28-year-old striker could be sold before the start of the new season, with Manchester City credited with interest, in order to avoid losing him for nothing in 12 months. However, according to Sky Sports News, Van Persie's contract situation is far from certain - despite his previous comments - and the Dutchman could yet pen an extension when Arsenal chief-executive Ivan Gazidis returns from holiday. In his statement, Van Persie claimed not to have even discussed contract terms with Arsenal and, it would appear, is willing to do so following the backlash from Thursday's revelation. Meanwhile, one possibility for Van Persie has definitely been ruled out after Paris Saint-Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti claimed he was not interested in signing the PFA Player of the Year. "Robin van Persie is not our target," said Ancelotti. "But I think there are a number of other clubs who are interested in him."
