Barcelona line up shock move for former Arsenal and Man Utd star in January
Barcelona eye January move for Robin van Persie
BARCELONA have set their sights on Fenerbahce striker Robin van Persie.
 
That is according to Mundo Deportivo, who claim the La Liga giants are looking to end the Dutchman's frustrating spell at the Turkish club.
The former striker moved to the Fenerbahce from in the summer, signing on a three-year deal.
He's scored four goals in 12 outings since his transfer and reports in Turkey suggest he's unsettled in Istanbul.
 
Van Persie this week failed to help the Netherlands qualify for Euro 2016, but moved quickly to rule out the possibility of ending his international career.
He told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "I'm not one to run away from difficult situations, I won't do so now either.
"We will have to bite, for almost a year, on a very sour apple and we must all go through it – the players, the fans, the media, everyone.

"A lot has happened, I'm going to have a quiet think about it. But as I see it now, I'll just stay available. 
"I still think it's a great honour to play for Oranje. In good, but also in bad times.
"I'm not someone who runs away from his responsibilities in difficult situations. Giving up is not an option. Though of course it depends on whether I am called."
