Nasri: Wenger wanted me to join PSG. But I wanted only Man City or Man Utd

Antalyaspor midfielder Samir Nasri admits he's turned down PSG twice during his career.

Nasri left Manchester City over the summer for the ambitious Turkish outfit.

He told Canal Football Club: "Has PSG ever tried to recruit me? I spoke to them twice. Once when Leonardo had spoken with (Arsene) Wenger.

"It suited Arsene that I was going to France because he did not want me to go to Manchester City or Manchester United. But for me it was either City or United.

"Another time when Laurent Blanc was coach. It was the year he took (Yohan) Cabaye. And finally, we were champion with City."
