To be honest, he was leaning toward keeping Nasri, but Arsenal was in a very passive position now.
Nasri only had one year left on his contract, and his current weekly salary of 60,000 British pounds was admittedly low.
But Arsenal's prior extension offer was a weekly salary of 90,000 British pounds, and Nasri was very unhappy with it.
Later, seeing he only had a year left on his contract, both Manchester City and Manchester United got involved one after another, and things became complicated.
Especially Manchester City.
The Blue Moon were offering a weekly salary of 160,000 British pounds.
Wenger personally spoke with Nasri and raised the weekly salary to 120,000 British pounds, but there was still a 40,000-pound gap.
"I originally had an agreement with Nasri. I promised to sign a superstar and contend for the title, asking him not to make a decision so soon. But now it seems Manchester City is also getting impatient."
Wenger was helpless about this.
