Samir Nasri has confirmed he is close to following Cesc Fabregas out of Arsenal and claimed he will do so with a sense of ‘anger and bitterness’.
A day after accusing fans of being disrespectful on Twitter, Nasri left a message for Facebook followers to reinforce his feelings.
‘It’s nearly done,’ said the France midfielder in reference to a proposed £23million transfer to Manchester City.
‘I will leave with bitterness and anger in my heart. I am proud for having played with the Gunners.
‘I have been very disappointed by the supporters last weekend. I am still an Arsenal player but I will leave very soon.’
City hope to complete the transfer before the weekend, with Arsenal at home to Liverpool on Saturday lunchtime.
It was during the goalless draw at St James’ Park when visiting Gunners fans reworked their usual celebratory Nasri song to accuse him of being greedy.
The sentiment stems from his refusal to extend a contract at the Emirates which expires next summer.
Arsenal have offered a new deal worth £90,000 a week but City have dwarfed it with a package worth £165,000 a week
