No club has spoken about the price. Where did the press get this value from? Or they want to repeat it till one of the club confirms the actual price?
Arsenal never disclose the price in any of their transfers but the figure always comes out from a different source which turns out to be true....i don't think Man Utd would be to eager to disclose the figure as well. This whole story on Man Utd interest in RVP first come from the press then the clubs confirmed it. I believe most of these stories are released by the agents and friends or family members.

Btw its also interesting to note that Arsenal never really offered RVP an improved contract, maybe Wenger wanted him gone!
"It is understood Van Persie was encouraged by the arrivals of Germany forward Lukas Podolski, France striker Olivier Giroud and Spain midfielder Cazorla - to the point where he was open to the idea of staying with or without a new contract.
But Wenger pulled him aside shortly before Sunday's friendly victory over Cologne, told him he would be sold if a deal could be reached and informed the Dutchman he was no longer part of his plans."
