Arsenal willing to listen to serious offers of £25m plus for Samir Nasri

Arsenal are willing to listen to any offers of £25m plus for midfielder/playmaker Samir Nasri as talks continue to stall however the North London club will not sell to any Premiership side and will look to either Italy or Spain as a possible destination for the 23 year old.
Nasri’s contract talks have been going on for some time and for many connected it has been a case of will he – wont he with 12 months remaining on his current deal. Obviously Arsenal are not prepared to allow the Frenchman to depart to domestic competitors and will accept any bids from abroad at the £25m mark or above rather than risk him leaving for free at the end of the 2011/2012 Premiership campaign.
It is believed that an improved offer has been offered to Nasri to place him on wages “close” to the likes of Fabregas and van Persie and despite confirmation from management that quality players will be brought in, the player has declined to sign an extension at this point.
With talks considered as being moot between both parties, Arsenal are now ready to see who really are interested and will be happy to listen to respectful bids. There were also suggestions recently that Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich would be interested in Nasri as a long term replacement for Franck Ribery however that was not confirmed by our source.
Should Arsenal receive a bid of around £25m for the midfielder then both Arsene Wenger and the board will find it hard to refuse for a player that could now be deemed as a risk should he remain for one more year and not sign an extension next summer.

It`s obvious to me that Nasri can not continue at Arsenal, like Adebayor he`s just not trusted anymore and he will be under harsh scrutiny every game he plays. I expect both he and Fabregas to leave in July. It`s not the end of the world both are replaceable it just takes a litle time to settle in.
Arsenal should’t be afraid selling nasri to united,he wants to win trophy’s in england,fergie get him afterall we sold carlos tevez to our bitter city rivals…
They didnt sell tevez to anyone. shows how much utd fans know about football even their own players. you never owned tevez and when the option came up to buy him for 30mill you thought he wasn’t worth the money and chose not to. really when you think of it utd are very poor in transfer market. bebe carrick hargreaves anderson m owen ( free but still 100k a week) obertan. you buy nasri and he’ll be added to that list in a year.
lets not forget berba also

What about Solskjaer, Schmeichel, Vidic, Evra, Van Der Sar, Hernandez, Ronaldo etc. It’s easy to highlight players who have not been very successful, every club has them. By the way Carrick has been very successful since his arrival.
Cheap market operator Man U. Fraudulently buy cheap and sell big.How on earth will ManU propose 10m for Nasri. What is the worth of his match in ManU team if they were to own him? If you don’t know, Wenger will help u with Nasri’s worth, ok? No wonder they took advantage of Jones for cheap but Indians knows biz better.It is either ManU pays more or forget Jones for another team. ManU has inside dealers in many EPL teams which is wrong. Come to the transfer market fairly at every time.
@ HERDAY
“Fraudulently” – how? buying players when they are young before they cost £30m+ isn’t being “fraudulent”, it’s being smart.
Also I’d like to see the evidence you have for United’s “inside dealers” in other EPL teams. You made the claim therefore you must obviously have some basis for it, some kind of proof… but let’s be honest, you don’t do you.
And @ MANUDUMPSTER
Berbatov was this season’s joint top scorer. He scored a hat-trick against Liverpool. Hardly what you’d call a flop, not compared to say… Bendtner. Also, Carrick has recovered from his poor showing last season and is now playing well again. Anderson has also improved this season after having taken some time to adjust to the Premier League.
But, besides anything else, you clearly intentionally miss out any good signings United make, which makes your opinion completely invalid and biased.. e.g.: Ronaldo, Hernandez, Vidic, Van Der Sar, Evra… all fairly cheap, and as long as ManU are still winning trophies it doesn’t matter how much the signings cost. How much would Hernandez cost now? £30m?
Arsenal should sell Both if they want out. This is how Wenger gets paid back for risking his career by pursuing Youth development. Now these new butterflies see themselves too good for Arsenal? Its just business i guess, no hard feelings…cash them in and revise your philosophy!!!!!!!
Who will pay 25 million when you could get him for free next summer? Even if you find a club that will then Nasri would have to agree to go there, if Arsenal play ‘hardball’ then they will lose him on a bosman. The situation is down to Nasri, if he decides he really wants to go to Old Trafford then Arsenal will have to accept what United are prepared to pay or will see him leave next summer for nothing.
Personally, I think he will sign a new bumper deal at Arsenal but it will be on his terms. The main reason I think this is I expect Fabregas to go to Barca and Nasri to get the central role he craves.
Nasri & Fabregas should beware, they are big fish at Arsenal. Like there predecessors “Hleb” & “Flamini” neither have set the world alight since leaving and dont capture the headlines like they used to. “Hleb” may even be crawling back to Wenger next year cap in hand. “Adebayor” now has to play on loan he is so much trouble. “Reyes” In obscurity at Athletico Madrid.
Beware it may not be the golden opportunity they expect.
Should have sold Fabregas last year so they could have actually won a trophy this year. Fabregas is wonderful however his heart wasn’t there and he picked up a few injuries. Because of both reasons Arsenal needed another big name player in their squad and possibly not even at the central midfield position. Should have sold Fabregas last year and picked up an attacker like Sneijder or possibly a true predator like Higuain. The central midfield would have been fine with Wilshere, Nasri, Song, Diaby, and even Denilson coming off the bench.
