Arsenal are ready to break their salary cap in an attempt to keep striker Robin van Persie at the club.
The 28-year-old, who has been linked with a move away from the Gunners, has one year left on his current deal.
However, Arsenal are now prepared to go above their £100,000-per-week limit to get the Dutchman to sign new terms, according to the Mirror.
Barcelona and Manchester City are two of the clubs thought to be interested in Van Persie.
