Let there be no doubt, Nolito is not happy at Manchester City.
After swapping sunny Vigo for Manchester in 2016, the Spaniard only made nine league starts for the club and it’s clear that he’s had enough.
You often hear about foreign players struggling to come to terms with the British weather when they move to the Premier League but Nolito’s recent complaint is certainly a new one as he claims that the Manchester climate has changed the colour of his young daughter’s skin.
“I have learnt very, very little English – it’s very hard,” Nolito told El Transisto, as translated by the Guardian. “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 out-of-favour winger has been heavily linked with a return to Spain this summer, with a loan move to Sevilla apparently on the cards for the 30-year-old.

Nolito was recently pictured with Sevilla’s sporting director, Óscar Arias, and is making no secret of his desire to draw a line under his City spell just twelve months after signing for £13.8m.
“I am under the contract, so the club will decide, but I want to leave,” Nolito said in no uncertain times.
“I haven’t played in six months. I will do everything possible to make Spain’s World Cup squad.”
