Manchester City is waiting for offers for Samir Nasri and is willing to part with the player against some 20 million euros, says Sky Sports.
There have been rumours that the Frenchman will leave `Etihad`, and the new manager Pep Guardiola revealed that he will hardly use him once he sent him to train alone at the beginning of the preparation.
The reason was that the 29-year-old player proved to be overweight in the collection of the team and had to work some time alone to get in shape, having missed pre-season team controls.
In July, Guardiola said that Nasri is already in a much better condition, but despite that, the English media expect his parting with the club. Last season, he played too little when there were problems with injuries.
It is considered that the Italian teams including Inter, AC Milan and Roma has an interest in the player, but will have to pay to Manchester City to attract him.

Barca sold a midfielder
The elite German Hamburger SV drew in its team the Croatian international Alen Halilovic from Barcelona for 5.5 million.
The 20-year-old midfielder passed the medical research and signed a contract for the next four seasons. He took the number 23, which in the best of days for the club was for the Dutch playmaker Rafael van der Vaart.
A clause in the contract does entitle the Catalans back on redemption of the Croatian player for 10 million next summer against the 12.5 million euros since the end of the season 2017/2018.
Halilovic was attracted to the Camp Nou from Dinamo Zagreb in 2014 against 2.2 million euros, but had only one official match adviced by soccer tips for the `blue-red` as a backup in the tournament for the Cup of the King.
In his first season in Spain he played mainly in the Barca and during the past campaign was ceded to Sporting Gijon.

The Sporting Director of FC Bayern Munich left the club
The Sporting Director of Bayern Munich, Matthias Sammer, left the club. The management of the Bavarians respected the application of Sammer for his contract to be terminated. It should expire in June 2018.
The 48-year-old received a microinfarct in April and although he looked fully recovered when returned to his duties, he chose to withdraw.
`I had the opportunity to think about a lot of things. For my family, for my work at Bayern Munich. To be a director at Bayern means to be available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and to give all his energy for the team and for the audience. At the moment, I don`t want to take all those responsibilities.`, said Sammer.
Sammer was adamant that it was completely rebuilt by the microinfarct and is not the reason to take the decision to resign from his position.
Matthias Sammer replaced Christian Nerlinger in 2012 at the position of Sporting Director.
Sammer was a part of the team and Josep Guardiola was at the root of the attraction of Arturo Vidal, Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels.
Bayern`s Executive Director Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed that the position which until now had been free was a part of Sammer`s responsibilities will be shared by the other guiding factors in the club.

Xavi compared Italy to Barca and Atletico
The former Spanish International Xavi Hernandez made a curious comparison, commenting on the upcoming rival of `La Fury` of the European semifinals in France, Italy. The former player of Barcelona expressed the view that the style of Italy resembles a bit of the Catalans and Atletico Madrid.
`It seems we are doomed to face against each other. Both selections have bad luck because this match adviced by football tips comes too soon. It could be a semi-final or a final.`, Xavi started.
`I think it would be an interesting fight. Spain will dominate because Italy won`t want to do it. The difference between the two teams is that Spain is suffering, when I snap, while Italy - not. They like the battle. It was the worst possible opponent who could fall to Spain. We have beaten them, but we`ve always felt that I might lose. It will be difficult for Spain on Monday.`, continued Xavi.
`The style of Italy slightly resembles that of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid lightly. The Italians are a tough opponent, especially on an opponent, who wants to pursue a high pick.`, added Hernandez.

Hamren is disappointed
The coach of Sweden, Erik Hamren, did not hide his disappointment after the team`s 1:1 draw against the Republic of Ireland in the first match analyzed by fixedsoccerpicks of the group E of Euro 2016.

Three minutes into the second half gave the advance Hulahan Wes Irish and in the 71st minute Kieran Clark of the Clovers scored an own goal, which was first a hit in their door in the League.
`We are definitely not happy with the first 50 minutes of the match. Ireland played better. Our game in attack wasn`t good enough, and in the first half, it was pretty weak. The strikers needed support, and in the first 50 minutes, they didn`t get one. Ireland defended well and managed to keep Ibrahimovic. Then we had a few scoring opportunities, and Ibrahimovic was involved in the goals for the 1:1.`, added the coach.
`We lost the game, but I`m not disappointed because we played the way we had to.`, Hamren said.
