Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal would like Robin Van Persie's departure from the club resolved this week, but have still received nothing like the £20m-plus valuation on the player from Juventus, Manchester United and Manchester City – the three clubs interested in signing him.
With Van Persie absent from the club's tour of Asia, Arsenal would like to agree a deal before they return. However, Juventus, the player's preferred choice, have opened with a bid of £8m and United at around £12m. The decisive point will be if City chose to out-bid both, putting pressure on Van Persie, who regards them as his third choice.
He will then have to decide whether to hold out for Juventus, or even United, and face the possibility of Arsenal keeping him for the final year of his contract.
