Gunner stunner: Arsenal ace Samir Nasri has refused to rule out the prospect of joining rivals Manchester United
Contract rebel Samir Nasri has stunned Arsenal by refusing to rule out a sensational summer move to Barclays Premier League champions Manchester United.
The saga surrounding the France international's failure to pen a new deal with the Gunners has been rumbling for months and now Nasri has hinted he could swap the Emirates for Old Trafford after United star Patrice Evra said his compatriot should join him.
Nasri, 23, is out of contract next summer and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will be keen to cash in before he left on a free transfer, but the midfielder wants to know if United's interest has any credibility.
He told French broadcasters TF1’s Telefoot: 'Do I want to go to Man United? Initially, we should see if it's real and if it is concrete.'
Gael Clichy is another on the Gunners' books who could be heading for the exit this summer, but Nasri has said nothing will be decided until after France’s forthcoming fixtures against Ukraine and Poland.
He said: 'I don’t know if I will sign a new contract. Anyway, the discussions are ongoing. For the moment, I don't think about this. We will speak about it after the match with Poland.'
Wenger revealed for the first time that money is the key stumbling block in the deal. He told French radio earlier this week: 'We have a financial disagreement which hasn't yet been settled. We are still in discussions but we haven't agreed a deal.'
It is understood United are keeping a close eye the situation, but Wenger insists: 'One thing's for sure, we're not selling him to United.'
Don't think he will leave arsenal for man u, he got to fight for a place with rooney, nani and hernandez over there......
he just trying to transfer stunts like rooney did. eventualy man utd gave in and he sign a improve contract.
look at tevez too.
arsenal should pay what is reasonable. nasri for 110k a week. i think not worth it. just look at his performance towards the end of the season. one word " poor".
