Arsenal boss Wenger insisting Nasri will only leave for £25M - at the least

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has told Samir Nasri he won't be sold for anything less than huge money.

The Daily Express says Wenger has spoken with Nasri and his representatives as fears grow he will not extend his contract, which has only one year left to run.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has urged his bosses to make a £20million bid as quickly as possible, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter and AC Milan also interested.

But Wenger has made it clear he is prepared to reject offers for Nasri and is unlikely to relent unless City or another suitor agree to pay upwards of £25m.

The move represents a big gamble on Wenger's part, as Nasri would be happy to see out the remaining 12 months of his contract and leave for nothing next summer.
