Man City star wants out: 'my daughter looks like she’s been living in a cave'
The Spanish international joined last summer for £13.8 million (€18m), starting only nine Premier League games, and scoring four times.
Recently pictured with Sevilla sporting director Oscar Arias (see tweet below), it appears that the 30-year-old doesn’t like life in England, claiming that his “daughter looks like she’s been living in a cave”.
Speaking to El Transistor (via the Guardian), Nolito claimed that: “I am under the contract, so the club will decide, but I want to leave. I haven’t played in six months. I will do everything possible to make Spain’s World Cup squad.
“I have learnt very, very little English – it’s very hard. Just ‘tomorrow’, ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’ and a little more. My daughter’s face has changed colour – it looks like she’s been living in a cave.”
The 30-year-old, who scored 39 La Liga goals over three seasons at Celta Vigo before joining the Mancunians, also claimed that he had just met Arias “ by chance”.
“I was just casually shopping for clothes for my wife in Seville,” he confirmed.
“I went to get a coffee and bumped into Sevilla’s director of football casually.”
