Manchester City are tabling a £27 million offer for Arsenal pair Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri.
The Daily Mail says City are close to finalising a £7m deal for Clichy and will offer the Gunners the kind of deal that will be difficult to refuse if Nasri, as expected, fails to agree new terms at the Emirates.
Clichy was pictured leaving a restaurant in Manchester on Sunday night and he prepares to become the first big name to walk out on Arsenal this summer.
In Nasri's case, he is set to enter crunch talks with manager Arsene Wenger on Thursday when he reports of the start of preseason training.
