Mancini warns Arsenal over impending Nasri deal

City could call trade off if midfielder plays for Gunners on Wednesday

BOLTON, United Kingdom - Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has warned Arsene Wenger that he might not sign Samir Nasri if the France midfielder plays in Arsenal's Champions League tie on Wednesday.

Mancini is keen to bring Nasri to Eastlands in a 25 million ($41.2 million) move before the transfer window shuts on Aug 31, but the deal has taken longer than expected as agents reportedly haggle over their cut of the transfer.
