Transfer Market Medical and contract signing pencilled in for August 31

Jorge Sampaoli will make his final signing of the summer when Samir Nasri departs Manchester City for a loan spell with Sevilla.

It has been a tough adaptation period for the Frenchman at Eastlands, who has previously been a star player but was quickly cast aside by new coach Pep Guardiola.

Therefore, it is destination Andalusia on a season-long loan move that does not involve a pre-agreed fee for Sevilla to sign Nasri on a permanent basis.

Arriving for a medical with Los Rojiblancos on Wednesday morning, the LaLiga club are hoping to beat the transfer deadline and seal the midfielder's signature to complete their incoming business for the summer.

Heading in the other direction will be winger Yevhen Konoplyanka, whose transfer to Bundesliga club Schalke 04 is being processed, and will be confirmed soon.
