da casino： Samir Nasri’s doping ban comes to an end on November 1st 2018, meaning that from that date onwards he is free to train and play for any club, as reported by Reuters.
What’s the word?
da dobrowin： Nasri was banned from professional football for 18 months following being found guilty of breaching anti-doping regulations. Not long before the ban was enforced, the ex-France international agreed to have his contract with Turkish outfit Antalyaspor terminated.

Now, however, the former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder is mere months away from a potential return to the game and plenty of European clubs ought to be alert to the 31-year-old’s imminent availability.
When his ban ends, Nasri will be available as a free agent, at which point Newcastle United would be wise to be set to win the race for his signature.
Little risk, big reward
The Magpies have been notoriously thrifty in recent times under the ownership of Mike Ashley and should therefore be attracted to Nasri’s free agent status. Beyond his cost effectiveness however, the attacking-midfielder would provide a real injection of technical quality and elite level experience to the squad at Rafa Benitez’s disposal.
For a side that have often struggled to fashion goalscoring opportunities, there is certainly room for Nasri’s talents at St James’ Park. What’s more, Nasri is likely to be desperate to prove that he still has what it takes to cut it at the top level. For Newcastle, offering him the opportunity to do exactly that on a short-term contract represents very little risk but could return a big reward.
