French media sources say Nasri's £22million deal to City has broken down.
The midfielder did not applaud the crowd as the teams came out of the tunnel, and was then jeered by some sections of the Emirates Stadium faithful when his name was announced.
For defeat to Liverpool, the midfielder produced a composed display, and was unfortunate not to see his mazy first-half run rewarded with a goal when a 25-yard effort flew wide.
Arsene Wenger maintained he knew nothing of whether Nasri's move to City was still on, or whether he would select the midfielder again, and so cup-tie him, for the Champions League play-off on Wednesday night.
"I always said that I would try to keep Samir Nasri and I have never changed my mind on it because I played him today," Wenger said.
"He loves the club, he wants to play for us, if we decide to sell him we will do it and we have to stand up for it.
"At the moment I am happy he is here."
