It is believed the ex-Arsenal man is jetting off to Turkey to become the club's latest big name signing after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola.

Antalyaspor already have Cameroon legend Samuel Eto’o on their books along with Nasri’s old French team-mate Jeremy Menez.

And it looks as though they are about to add Nasri to their ranks having agreed a deal with City to stump up his huge wages.

It is believed Nasri touched down in the Turkish city around midday to complete his medical before signing on the dotted line.

He will reportedly pen a two-year deal where he will earn around £3.6million per year.

Nasri has found a transfer hard to come by this summer after pocketing a stunning £170,000-a-week at the Citizens.

He joined the City squad on their pre-season tour but Guardiola was left unconvinced that he has enough quality to play a role in the City side this campaign.

Nasri spent last campaign on loan at Sevilla but only scored scored three and assisted as many in 31 appearances for Eduardo Berizzo’s side.

Antalyaspor narrowly missed out on Europa League qualification last term after finishing fifth in Super Lig.
