It’s not just football Germany that is suffering, many national teams experienced setbacks in the weekend’s international matches. A summary that – if it doesn’t comfort – at least distracts a little from the malaise of the DFB team.

Italy continues to stumble

Master coach Luciano Spalletti, who turned the Italian league on its head with SSC Napoli last season, only managed a 1-1 draw in his debut game as national coach in the European Championship qualification against North Macedonia. “A bitter debut for the new coach,” commented the “Gazzetta dello Sport”. The “Corriere dello Sport” summarized: “Another devastating evening for Italian football.” Spalletti didn’t see the whole thing in such a gloomy way: “The result is bad, but the team played well, we can build on that.” Tuesday is waiting Italy already has something like a final against Ukraine (8.45 p.m.) for next year’s European Championship in Germany. The Ukrainians are currently three points ahead in the table. Spalletti and the players wanted to forget the disaster in Palermo, when Italy lost 1-0 to North Macedonia on the way to Qatar and thus missed a World Cup for the second time in a row.

Jakarta –

Manchester City are looking for a replacement Kyle Walker who is rumored to be close to Bayern Munich soon. One of the players on the target list is a defender Paris Saint Germain, Achrafi Hakimi.

As reported by Football Insider, the Moroccan player is liked by manager Pep Guardiola and the Man City recruitment team. His age of only 24 years can also make him a long-term asset for The Citizens.

Hakimi is also interested in moving to Manchester. However, it is believed that PSG will ask for a high fee, because he is still the first choice and his contract in Paris still has three years left.

Apart from Hakimi, there is Benjamin Pavard who is rumored to be moving to Man City to replace Walker. In terms of price, the French defender is considered cheaper, because his contract at Bayern has one more year left.

Negotiations to recruit him were also easier because it could be done simultaneously with Walker’s transfer. It is believed that Hakimi will only be hunted if Man City fails to reach an agreement with Bayern to release Pavard.

Walker was previously reported to be close to Bayern to start a new adventure. His contract at Man City only has a year left, and he wasn’t always the first choice last season.

The Citizens initially wanted to offer a new contract, but recently the 33-year-old defender prefers to move. Bayern is said to be redeeming it for 15 million Pounds.
