Van Persie is trying to force his way out of Arsenal but the club will not sell on the cheap.

"A top player is not only judged by how much he costs," said Juve director Guiseppe Marotta.

"It can also mean a player who costs less but on the pitch shows an absolute value.

"Van Persie is a great player but Arsenal do not intend to lose him. And you cannot indulge in a player if the owners don't want (to sell).

"Talk of our real interest in him seems excessive to me."
