Van Persie still has 18 months left to run on his current contract with the Gunners.
The Dutchman has recently been strongly linked with a move to Manchester City.
“I don’t want the sale of Robin van Persie,” Gervinho told the Daily Mirror.
“Robin is a player who pushes companions to work harder and give more effort during matches. He is a dream to play with.
“Van Persie is the captain and the boss of the group.”
