Manchester City attacker Samir Nasri has insisted that he will have no problem leaving the club if they decide to sell him.

The Frenchman says he is currently unsure over his future with the Premier League champions as he is expecting a host of new players to arrive at the Etihad Stadium next summer.

City play Roma on Wednesday (local time) and need to win in Italy to have any chance of progressing - while they must hope Bayern Munich don't lose to CSKA Moscow.

Nasri told BeIn Sports: "I do not know if I will leave the club. If they come to me and they tell me to pack my bags, I will leave."

But the midfielder admits that the onus is on the players to deliver in Rome after a poor group stage campaign thus far - insisting that if they are eliminated it's not the fault of manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Nasri added: "If we play our game, we will win against Roma. The greatest risk is to play with pressure and to have this apprehension. If we don't ask questions, and we play our game, then we will do it. We have more qualities.

"If we are eliminated from the Champions League, this is not the fault of the coach, it is the players who are on the pitch."
