Samir Nasri: Manchester City midfielder joins Turkey's Antalyaspor
Last updated on .From the section Football
Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has joined Turkish side Antalyaspor on a two-year contract, for a fee which could rise to 3.5m euros (£3.2m).
The France player, 30, signed from Arsenal for £25m in 2011 and made 129 Premier League appearances for City.
He won two league titles and a League Cup during his time at the Etihad, but spent last season on loan at Spanish club Sevilla.
Before completing the move, Nasri was pictured boarding a flight to Turkey.
He did go with City on their pre-season tour of the United States but had no future at the club under manager Pep Guardiola.
Antalyaspor are captained by former Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o.
"Everybody at the club wishes Samir good luck in the next chapter of his career and would like to thank him for some fantastic memories," City said in a statement.

He played mo, won more, earned more, I don't blame, him, I don't like him, but understand his decision
Why would he have wanted to stay at Arsenal. He earned more money and trophies at City than Arsenal, so the move was a resounding success for him.
Lehmann, Mills, Cashley Cole, Keown, Terry, Nasri, Bowyer, Barton, Pennant, Bendtner, Anelka Manager: Neil Warnock
Anyone noticing a strong theme emerging? And I can't think of a more colossal bell to captain this team of muppets than John Terry Esq. Martin Keown also moonlights as gorilla mascot
Its so sad to see so many players, literally take their career and P*ss it up the wall.
Enjoy the money Nasri, nobody will remember you in years to come.
Still, he probably checks his on line bank account every morning and smiles ....
