Inter and Juventus keen to snap up Arsenal midfielder

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may be forced into offloading one of his star players, following the serious interest shown by two of Italy’s heavyweights.

Inter Milan and Juventus are keen to sign Samir Nasri this summer, according to the player’s agent.

Nasri has been involved in stalling contract negotiations for six weeks now, and ultimately has decided he wants out of the club, having failed to win a piece of silverware in six seasons.

His agent, Alain Miglaccio, confirmed the interest shown by the two Serie A sides in a recent interview, with the report going onto suggest that both clubs are preparing lucrative deals for the Frenchman.

“Inter Milan and Juventus asked for him – AC Milan did not,” Miglaccio affirmed to Calciomercato.com.

Despite Wenger desperately wanting to keep hold of his key midfielder, he may be tempted into selling him to an Italian club, as opposed to a direct rival such as Manchester United.

    “ultimately has decided he wants out of the club, having failed to win a piece of silverware in six seasons.”

    Then obviously Juventus is the place to go. They have been swimming in silverware for the last god knows how many seasons.

    Juve swimming in silverware? Really?

    Again ewith the lazy inaccurate hackery? Nasri hasnt even been at Arsenal 6 seasons. His desire is to earn more cash and hopefully he can be sold to a foriegn club. Wenger doesnt want to sell him to a UK team, thats clear.

    And if nasri hadnt played so poorly in the 2nd half of the season, he might have won a trophy. he is partly to blame, so this nonsense that players not only demand obscene wages, but want guaranteed trophies is pathetic and shows how self indulgnet and morally bankrupt they are.

    another bogus rumor since Wenger has already said he can go for nothing next year if he is still unhappy but that he is going nowhere this year…have some integrity

    Nasri has not failed to win silverware with Arsenal for six seasons.

    He doesn`t want Serie A … That league is on the down it`s the 4th most watched league. EPL 1st La Liga 2nd and Bundes Liga 3rd.

    As said before, Nasri been at Arsenal for less than 6 seasons. In addition to this he has been stalling contract negotiations for a lot more than 6 weeks, he has been stalling since last year summer. Hope the writer is not on some performance based pay.

    oh know two of italy’s heavyweights are interested! let me tell you something, arsenal are 7th most valuable sports club in the world no italian team are in the top 25 and wenger said he doesnt want to sell him, that we would rather he go free next yr then sell him. so i doubt some worhtless money from inter or ac or juve or whoever with “force” wenger into offloading him. wanker
