Why Man City? When he fell out with Pep at Barca and City have just as bad a record in the competition.

Can't be a money issue because he can make so much more by leaving on a free.

One option no one has mentioned is him signing a new contract but we loan him out for the season so he can play his CL football...this could work but Arsene probably wants him playing in the team now.

Personally wouldn't mind selling him now considering there are options available.
I'd want to keep him if we were in the Champions League, but if we're not .. As you say, other options available.
