SAMIR Nasri is to hold more talks with Arsene Wenger is a bid to resolve his future, says his agent. 

The Frenchman, who is out of contract with the Gunners next July, is being heavily linked with a move away from Emirates Stadium this summer.

Arsenal boss Wenger has made it clear he will do everything he can to keep Nasri in north London despite interest from Manchester United and Inter Milan. 

Reports suggest Nasri has shunned contract talks until he is satisfied Arsenal’s transfer targets are good enough to mount a title bid next term. But the midfielder’s representative Alain Migliaccio claims negotiations are ongoing.

“There are a few clubs interested in Samir, but it is useless to name them,” he said. “Before listening to other teams we need and we want to talk with Arsenal.” 

He told calciomercatoweb.com: “I want to clarify that there has been no break with the Gunners over the contract’s renewal and we should meet again soon with Arsene Wenger.”
