Juventus eye Samir Nasri swoop

Italy's Juventus are keen to sign Samir Nasri from Manchester City following the £54 million capture of Kevin De Bruyne, but the Frenchman does not want to leave, the Mirror reported Monday.

Nasri, 28, signed a new five-year deal at the Etihad last year to run until 2019, but De Bruyne's arrival means he is seen as a squad player with Raheem Sterling and David Silva also ahead of him.

The former Arsenal midfielder wants to remain part of Manuel Pellegrini's plans, however, despite the chance to play Champions league football with the Italian title holders.

The Premier League leaders snapped up De Bruyne in the biggest deal of the summer on Sunday, with the £54 million move the latest in a series of huge deals for the Citizens.
