Absent from the Champions League final and discreet in recent weeks, Samir Nasri is about to turn an important page.
In recent times, Samir Nasri shone especially by his absence. Invisible in the Champions League final, while he is usually on the antenna on TF1, he had not honored Djibril Cissé's invitation for his jubilee, without explaining the reasons. Enough to fuel rumors around his professional future. Many were wondering: what becomes of the former French international, who has become a consultant since his retirement from the land?
Nasri, end of adventure with Canal+
According to information from the team, It is with Canal+ that the story is coming to an end. Samir Nasri comes at the end of his contract with the encrypted chain and, except reversal of an improbable situation, he will not continue the adventure. Despite a displayed desire for the diffuser to keep it in its workforce, no agreement has been reached. Behind the scenes, a financial disagreement would be at the origin of this programmed separation, probably on the question of the cachet. The chain obviously does not wish to review its offer upwards.
But Nasri did not stay long without courtiers. The Ligue 1 platform, controlled by LFP Media, has already made foot calls. And for this new channel in search of credibility and exhibition, enlisting such a relevant and experienced consultant would be a big blow. His interventions, often praised for their accuracy and them outspoken, constitute a real asset in the French audiovisual landscape.

An assumed choice to stay in the media
A time tempted by a retraining in coaching, Samir Nasri seems to have definitely decided. The former midfielder visibly prefers to stay in the media world, where he has imposed himself with natural ease. His transition to the role of consultant allowed him to stay at the heart of football while expressing his vision of the game, often tinged with anecdotes experienced at the highest level.
At the dawn of this new media season, an era ends for Samir Nasri … and another perhaps opens on the side of the League chain. The meeting is therefore made for the start of the school year: it remains to be seen under which banner the ex-Marseillais will make his voice resonate.
