Just like for Joe Hart, the arrival of Pep Guardiola was not good news for Samir Nasri, another player who had been at the club for a long time. First, he was forced to train alone by Pep after he was labelled as overweight by the Catalan boss. He was then welcomed to the first-team after cutting off the extra weight but failed to impress and ended up on loan at La Liga side Sevilla.
The former Arsenal man seems to have a very limited future at the Etihad even though he is doing pretty well under Jorge Sampaoli at Sevilla. The 29-year-old is finally playing football on a regular basis this season after his troubled times at Manchester City, and the best thing for Nasri will be to put an end to his Etihad stint as soon as possible.

Snehanjan is a journalist at Sportskeeda covering European football news. A hardcore Liverpool fan for over two decades, he has been covering the game since the past 8 years and always strives to give readers relevant, accurate and credible content.
Snehanjan developed an interest in football at a very young age, thanks to his father watching football on TV. His favorite player is club legend Steven Gerrard and his favorite manager is another legend in Jurgen Klopp. The ‘Miracle of Istanbul’ i.e., Liverpool beating AC Milan in the 2005 UEFA Champions League final left an indelible mark on him. He believes that Liverpool is a family unlike other top clubs, which sets them apart.
Snehanjan also follows Indian Super League and the I-League, although the latter is closer to his heart. If he could change a rule in football, it would be VAR not pointing out mistakes of on-field officials unless they are clear and obvious errors. Outside the football world, Snehanjan likes to explore the various genres of music and watch movies and shows on OTT. He’s also a car enthusiast and likes to follow the automobile world.
