Manchester City are close to agreeing a deal to sign Samir Nasri from Arsenal and the transfer could be finalised in next 24 hours with City paying Arsenal a reported £25m for the Nasri who joined the Gunners from Marseille in 2008 and the final 12 months of his contract and has rejected a new deal in the Emirates Stadium.
The France midfielder 24, would become the 2nd high profile departure from Arsenal this week after Cesc Fabregas joined Barcelona on Monday and he used social networking site Twitter to congratulate Fabregas his move and criticise Gunners fans who directed an abusive chant towards him during Saturdays 0-0 draw at Newcastle.
That was never likely because the clubs were and are still are in the negotiations and no medical can take place until a deal is agreed for the arsenal began discussions with Nasri in December 2010 and Frenchman is understood to have stalled on a new 3 year contract worth on £90,000 a week and in June he cast further doubt over his future.
Gunners reportedly turned down a £20m bid from the Manchester United in early July and manager Arsenal Wenger said that he was prepared to a lose Nasri in a free transfer next summer rather than sell him now and Nasri was named French Player of the Year in 2010 and he was included in the PFA Team of the Year for 2010-11.
