The Daily Telegraph report that City’s £10 million valuation on top of the player’s £9.6 million yearly wage could deter any potential suitors.
Nasri has two more years remaining on his current contract with the Blues.
However the club are desperate to offload the 30-year-old, with manager Pep Guardiola insisting that the player is not part of his plan’s for this season.

Elsewhere Don Balon report that Real Madrid have held secret talks with Paulo Dybala in the hopes of bringing the Juventus star to the Bernabéu.
