Ultimately, Van Persie's plans to move to Manchester City fell through.
After Manchester City learned that Van Persie had an injury risk during his medical examination, he decisively started transfer negotiations with Tevez, and then directly used an astonishingly high weekly salary to get the Argentine.
A few days after Van Persie's transfer to Manchester City failed, Van Persie was notified that he had received an offer from Bayern while gathering with Leeds United players.
After the Bundesliga squad failed to try to contact Leeds United's Robben, he immediately turned to Robin van Persie. In just two days, the deal was finalized.
Robin van Persie was not worried at all after hearing his move to Manchester City fell through. He is very confident in his own ability. Since he can't go to Manchester City, he can go to other teams. Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about finding a new home.
At a gathering with former Leeds United teammates, Alan Smith mentioned to Robin van Persie whether he asked his boss to buy Van Persie back. However, Van Persie actively rejected this proposal. Van Persie, who has left Leeds United, will definitely not be willing to return to the team.
If possible, he would prefer to face the team he has played for as an opponent.
In fact, Real Madrid also received an offer from Barcelona for Van Persie, but they rejected Barcelona without notifying Van Persie.
The transfer storm outside is still gathering. After Real Madrid ended their big deal, people have focused their attention on the British Isles.
There, there is also a team that is squandering pounds and euros, constantly trying to pry the corners of other Premier League teams. They hired Tevez from Manchester United, Toure and Adebayor from Arsenal, Santa Cruz from Blackburn, and even offered Leeds United midfielder Gareth Barry. He made a considerable offer, but it was rejected by George.
What a joke, George Lee sold Sterk Parker to Tottenham this summer, Matthiassen to AC Milan, and Pedersen to Blackburn. If Barry is sold again at this time, what will Leeds United use to defend next season.
Not only the backcourt players, but also several frontcourt players were purged.
In order to get enough playing time, Kuyt agreed to the transfer to Inter Milan after learning that the team would introduce Ibrahimovic. The opposing coach Mourinho was also very optimistic about the hard-working Dutchman. forward. In the summer, after losing Ibrahimovic, Inter Milan added three very capable forwards. In addition to Kuyt, there are Eto'o and Diego Milito from La Liga.
Similarly, Kevin Davis, who played for Leeds United for four seasons, was bought by Southampton. After all, at the age of 32, he still has some energy left and wants to continue to play his role in the Premier League. He does not want to waste time on the bench of Leeds United.

Gregory van der Wiel, the 21-year-old Dutch full-back just joined Leeds United from Ajax this summer.
Today is the day to report on the team’s training camp. He arrived at Leeds United’s Thorpe Arch training ground very early to prepare for the team’s first training session.
In recent years, many players from Ajax have joined Leeds United. From the earliest De Jong to the later Sneijder, including the team's goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and the team's head coach Lee George, they all have experience of playing for Ajax.
It’s no wonder that some people say that Ajax is about to become the youth team of Leeds United. After all, there are many players and staff in this Leeds United who have interacted with Ajax.
However, these did not have any adverse impact on the two clubs. Anyway, Leeds United has the money and can buy any player they want, and Ajax is also willing to make deals with Leeds United. After all, Leeds United never buys players from them in installments and always settles them in one lump sum.
When Vandeveer entered the training ground, he somewhat forgot how to navigate the team's locker room.
When he first joined here, someone took him to visit the training ground, but he was a little excited at the time and was so dizzy that he completely forgot how to go.
Fortunately, he found an acquaintance, Fabian Delph, who had appeared with him when he joined.
The two appeared together at a press conference. He was showing Leeds United's No. 23 jersey. This jersey was originally worn by Leeds United midfielder Joey Barton, who moved to New York in 2008. The card, which had been empty last season, was handed over to Vandeveer this season.
Unlike Van der Wiel, Delph has ended his two-season loan and returned to Leeds United. He will continue to wear the No. 28 jersey he wore before.
"Fabian, wait for me." Vanderveer stopped Delph and chased after him at a faster pace.
"Hey, Gray..."
"Gregory, Gregory Vanderveer."
"I remember, you didn't forget where the locker room is, did you?"
"Yes." Vanderveer scratched his head in embarrassment, feeling a little embarrassed when Delph revealed his embarrassment.
But Delph also smiled, and then took Van der Wiel to the locker room.
Because the two were about the same age, they talked relatively harmoniously along the way. In particular, although Delph has not been in the team for the past two seasons, he is still a player from Leeds United's youth training. He is quite familiar with this place and keeps introducing various buildings and training grounds to Van der Wiel.
"Let me tell you, I have been training my muscles this summer. I originally wanted to teach that Portuguese kid a lesson next season, but who knew he would go to Real Madrid."
As soon as they arrived at the locker room, the two heard a lively discussion coming from the locker room.
"It must be Leyton. He and the Portuguese who broke the transfer record are bitter enemies. The two of them fought in the Premier League for five whole seasons." Delph knew it was Leyton Baines when he heard the voice, and he Told Vandeveer about Baynes and Ronaldo.
Vanderveer nodded after hearing this and prepared to enter the locker room with Delph.
Delph entered the locker room first, looked around, spread his arms and said loudly to the people in the locker room: "Guys, I'm back."
"Alas!"
"Welcome home, Fabian."
Everyone who knew Delph went up to hug him one by one, while those who didn't know him waited for the people in front to finish hugging and then went up to give Delph a high-five.
After everything was done, Delph called Vanderveer to introduce him to everyone.
Another round of hugs and high fives followed.
Delph also introduced several people in the locker room to Vandeveer.
Nowadays, those who come to the locker room earlier are young players, while the bigger players come later, of course only relatively late. They don't dare to be late. After all, head coach George Lee has 10,000 ways to punish players who are late for training.
"Dally Blind, I came a season earlier than you."
"Aaron Gunnarsson and Daly have been together for one year. He and I played mostly in the reserve team last year."
"Christian Eriksen, who came to Leeds United last year, has just been transferred from the youth team this year."
"Joan Edmondson, call me Yoan."
These few have only joined Leeds United in the past two years, and Delph is not familiar with them, so they can only introduce themselves to the two people who have just arrived in the locker room.
However, Vandeveer was quickly attracted to a player who sat on the bench and said nothing.
Although this player is sitting, he looks very tall, estimated to be 1.9 meters. And judging from the highlighted outline of the tight-fitting sportswear he is wearing, this player's muscles are very obvious.
However, if you focus on this player's face, you can tell from his many freckles that he is definitely not old.
Vandeveer felt that he was at least a year or two younger than himself.
But for such a young player, the number printed on his shorts was "5". Vandeveer specifically moved his steps to look at it from a different angle. It was the single digit "5", not wrinkles or other things. A number blocked it.
Looking back on Leeds United's transfers this season, it seems that no young star has joined Leeds United?
Vanderveer couldn't help but be curious.
"Come on, let's go warm up first."
Baynes, who was the most lively just now, suggested to everyone, and then took the lead out of the locker room with a few people who had changed clothes.
After several people walked out of the locker room, Van der Wiel quietly asked Delph who the young player wearing the No. 5 jersey was.
The results surprised him.
"That's our boss's son. He was transferred to the first team this season. He is less than 17 years old. Don't underestimate him. There is no room for him in the youth team games, so the boss transferred him to the first team. Come and exercise, don’t underestimate him.”
