Manchester City Set To Beat Arsenal To German Star By Including Nastasic In Deal
Manchester City look set to beat Arsenal to German star Julian Draxler by offering Schalke Matija Nastasic as part of a deal.
åÊ
The Gunners have been chasing Draxler since last January, but have so far been unable to land the talented winger.
åÊ
And according to the Metro, City have now emerged as favourites to capture his signature with Nastasic likely to go the other way.
åÊ
Draxler has made just eight appearances in the Bundesliga this term, having suffered a injury-ridden 2014.
åÊ
But Manuel Pellegrini has not been put off by concerns over his fitness, and hopes to bring him in this January.
åÊ
The City boss values Nastasic at å£10million, but will almost certainly have to offer a sizeable amount of cash on top to make ti happen.
åÊ
It is also thought that Schalke would prefer to bring Nastasic in on-loan before committing to a long-term deal for the young defender.
