Manchester City are close to agreeing a deal to sign Samir Nasri from Arsenal.
The transfer could be finalised in the next 24 hours, with City paying Arsenal a reported £25m.
Nasri, who joined the Gunners from Marseille in 2008, is into the final 12 months of his contract and has rejected a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.
The France midfielder, 24, would become the second high-profile departure from Arsenal this week after Cesc Fabregas joined Barcelona on Monday.
Nasri used social networking site Twitter to congratulate Fabregas on his move and criticise Gunners fans who directed an abusive chant towards him during Saturdays 1-1 draw at Newcastle.
"I heard what the fans were singing about me on saturday and it is really disrespectful because i'm still a arsenal player", he wrote.
There were suggestions Nasri would undergo a medical on Wednesday - and camera crews gathered at the Bridgewater Hospital.
But that was never likely because the clubs were - and are still are - in negotiations and no medical can take place until a deal is agreed.
