Nolito explains why he went to Man City not FC Barcelona
The Man City forward is now playing under Pep Guardiola, but could have joined Barcelona instead
Nolito has explained why he opted to join Premier League side Man City from Celta Vigo instead of FC Barcelona.
“I was close to Barcelona, but in the end I decided to go to Manchester City," he told The Sun. “I think it was the best decision for me and my family, and I am happy to play for City.”
Previously he had said: “I spoke with David Silva, he spoke well about City. It took me just two days to make the decision.
“I have come to the Premier League to play with City and under Pep Guardiola, who will play me in the first team.
“I am very proud of Barcelona’s interest, but now I am here I think I made the best decision. I’ve had the luck to play with Lionel Messi, but what I want in life is to play and enjoy my football.”
