Manchester City did not receive a penny from Turkish club Antalyaspor for Samir Nasri.
Sportsmail understands that the Premier League giants were so keen to see the Frenchman leave they accepted a host of add-ons and a sell-on clause rather than a fee from the Turkish outfit to get him out.
As revealed in June, City feared Nasri could end up costing Antalyaspor £25m. The midfielder is being investigated by UEFA for an alleged breach of doping rules and the club were concerned that, should he be banned, they could be lumbered with paying £12.5m wages to a player who could not play and who had two years left on his contract.
