Samir Nasri is considering his offers from two Serie A clubs after preliminary talks, the player’s agent has revealed.

The Manchester City midfielder spent last season on loan at La Liga side Sevilla and has been told he is not in Pep Guardiola’s first team plans at the Etihad in the upcoming season.

The 30-year-old has spoken to two Italian clubs, including Serie A runners-up Roma, whose newly-installed sporting director Monchi was responsible for taking Nasri to Sevilla last season.

“The player is still owned by Manchester City and we are evaluating several issues,” agent Alain Migliaccio told Romanews.eu (via Football Italia).

“There is the possibility of a transfer to China. With regards to Italy, there are two clubs interested who we have already talked to. They are top level teams.

“Monchi wanted him at Sevilla and knows him well. A city and a squad like Roma could certainly be very interesting for Nasri. That’s where the motivation comes from.

“Monchi knows what he wants and where he wants to go. He already has the project in mind: he sold important players, but has the right alternatives in his pocket.

“We want to understand the structure of the Roma option and work out if Samir can really fit into the Roma project. As far as we’re concerned, we want to evaluate the situation well and understand the project.

“Nasri really likes the city, but a move to Rome would also depend on who is leaving from the midfield: Monchi is evaluating it.

“Samir can work in the centre as well as going wide. There will certainly be surprises and there are many things to be evaluated.”

Nasri made 23 appearances for Sevilla under Jorge Sampoali last season and contributed with 37 chances created, three assists and two goals.

Only Vitolo and Pablo Sarabia created more chances than Nasri at Sevilla last season.
