Samir Nasri is being linked to a reunion with former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini.

The midfielder, a free agent after being released from Antalyaspor, has been linked with Crystal Palace and West Ham United.

However, a move to Russia could now be on where Zenit St Petersburg coach Mancini is keen.

Sport-Express says Nasri's agents have offered the Frenchman to Zenit and talks have now commenced over a contract.

Nasri is eager to find himself a new club and is open to pursuing his career in Russia.
