Arsenal to sell Fabregas to keep Nasri

[emezico]

Arsenal could sacrifice its captain Cesc Fabregas in order to keep Samir Nasri at The Emirates.

The Gunners boss' concern is to refresh his squad with new players, and sort out the futures of Fabregas, Nasri and Gael Clichy.

Arsenal have rejected a £27m bid for ­Fabregas from Barca, but the Spanish Champions and UEFA Champions League winners will make an improved offer this week. If the offer reaches £30m-plus, then ­Arsenal will accept.

That will leave Wenger with the ­necessary cash to offer French ­international Nasri a lucrative new ­contract.
