Arsenal Transfer Rumors: Samir Nasri Headed to Manchester City for £25 Million?

Samir Nasri is one of the Arsenal players much involved in transfer talks this summer. Linked with Manchester City and Manchester United, Nasri's move has been less talked about, as it gets overshadowed by Cesc Fabregas' possible move to Barcelona.

From The Guardian:

"

"There is now an acceptance at the club that if and when City formalise their interest in the midfielder with a sizeable offer, in the region of £25m, they would be wise to accept, particularly as the player wants the transfer."

"

Nasri's current wages at the Emirates are £90,000 per week, and it has been rumored that he would have moved simply because he wants a pay raise.

At Manchester United, he would have gotten a bit more than he currently has, but at Manchester City, he may even double that salary.

Though Nasri publicly said that money wasn't why he would leave Arsenal, you can't be too sure, as Manchester City is one of the richest clubs in the world.

Also at Manchester City (and United as well), the probability of them winning a title is much higher than that of Arsenal, who haven't won a trophy since 2005.

The deal is likely to go through, as Nasri wants to leave, Manchester City want star power and Arsenal aren't opposed to the transfer. Also, the Blues will pay any kinds of money for superstars, so £25 million probably won't be a huge problem for them.

So, Arsenal fans, don't get your hopes too high for next year, as one of the club's best midfielders is set to leave.
