Man City will let AleksandarKolarov leave club to join Roma
Manchester City defender AleksandarKolarov will be allowed to leave to pursue a move to Serie A club Roma.
The 31-year-old, who joined City from Roma’s rivals Lazio for £16m in 2010, was left out of Thursday’s 2-0 friendly defeat by Manchester United.
After the game, City boss Pep Guardiola said: “I don’t like working with people who don’t want to stay. He has a big chance to go to Roma.
“He has said he wants to leave. I wish him all the best.”
Full-back Kolarov, a Serbia international, has played 247 times for City.
This summer City have signed right-back Kyle Walker from Tottenham, with the club keen to add Real Madrid’s 26-year-old full-back Danilo, also a target for Chelsea.
They have also been linked with a bid for Monaco left-back Benjamin Mendy, while a move for DaniAlves broke down as the 34-year-old joined Paris St-Germain.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez will return to best
Alexis Sanchez will have no problems reproducing his best form for Arsenal after an “uncomfortable” ...
... transfer window, says manager Arsene Wenger.
Chile forward Sanchez, 28, came close to joining Manchester City on deadline day, but Wenger has “no doubt about Alexis’ mind and mentality”.
Arsenal agreed a £60m deal with City but it depended on them signing Thomas Lemar, who decided to stay with Monaco.
“He will be back very quickly to his best,” said the Frenchman.
“The transfer market is over, there was a lot going on. It’s very difficult to speak about because Lemar is now at Monaco and has to focus there, Sanchez is here and his focus is here,” Wenger added.
“Many things happen in the last second which I regret. That’s why I believe it’s time we change the rules and close the transfer window before the league season starts.
“The players have no clarity. Are they in or out? There are some who are tapped up on the afternoon of a game by people who want to get them out.
“It’s uncomfortable and every manager in the league would agree it’s time to kick that out before the season starts. You can’t have players in the dressing room who are half in and half out.”
“Northern Ireland success will attract young players’ – O’Neill
Manager Michael O’Neill believes his team’s recent success will make it easier to persuade young players to represent Northern Ireland.
With his side on the verge of a place in the World Cup play-offs, O’Neill says the mood in the Northern Ireland camp is more positive than in the past.
“At one time, we had boys who dreaded coming to play for us in Belfast, now they relish it,” said O’Neill.
The manager felt they had lost too many players to the Republic of Ireland.
Northern Ireland’s win over the Czech Republic on Monday means they are guaranteed a top two finish in Group C qualifying.
With the world champions topping the group, O’Neill’s men are likely to be one of the eight countries taking part in the play-offs to determine the last four European qualifiers.
That success is making it easier for Northern Ireland to attract young players who have the option of playing their international football elsewhere, O’Neill argued on Radio 5 live.
“It was very difficult in the early years because we didn’t have a lot to sell,” said O’Neill who took over as NI boss in December 2011.
“The ground was dilapidated and the results were not positive, so to convince a young player to come and play for Northern Ireland was not an easy thing to do.
“If you look at someone like Oliver Norwood, for example, who played for us at Under-17. He is a Burnley boy and his father is from Northern Ireland, Ollie is touching 50 caps now for us.”
The NI manager said he was concerned at the way players have had to make important decisions on their international careers at a young age.
“The thing I don’t like to see happen, and it happens a lot to us, is when a young player is put in a position where he has to switch his international allegiance between the ages of 17 and 21,” O’Neill added.
“It is only one choice you get, and we have lost too many young players to the Republic of Ireland on that basis whose international careers have floundered rather than flourished because of that decision. It is a big decision for any young player to have to make.
“The competition for young players is no different really from club football. Big clubs are looking for the best players at 12 and 13, and international teams are starting young as well.”
