Now here’s a way to see your way out of Manchester.

Nolito says his daughter looks different now that she’s been living Manchester for a year, and the 30-year-old Spaniard is ready to leave town.

Nolito signed a four-year deal before last season, having scored 14, 13, and 12 goals in his previous three seasons with Celta Vigo. He notched just four Premier League goals on debut, scoring six overall in a City uniform.

Here’s his takeaway:

“I’ve learnt little English. It’s hard. Just ‘tomorrow’, ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’ and a little more,” Nolito told radio station El Transistor. “My daughter’s face has changed colour - it looks like she’s been living in a cave.”

“I am under the contract, so the club will decide, but I want to leave,” he said.


Don’t let the door hit you. Nolito cost City about $18 million, and his age will likely stop the club from recouping the fee. But he’s a productive scorer and should land on his feet in La Liga.
