Manchester City Forward Nolito to Leave because of England Weather

The Spaniard started brightly for Pep Guardiola’s side before his form faded, culminating in him losing his place in the squad for much of the second half of the season. Nolito now admits he wants to leave City due to being unhappy with the weather and how it’s affected him and his family. The forward admits he’s had a bit of a nightmare in England since moving from Celta Vigo to the Etihad Stadium in last summer’s transfer window.

The 30-year-old hopes to secure a transfer away as he focuses on making Spain’s World Cup squad for next summer.

‘I have learnt very, very little English – it’s very hard. Just “tomorrow”, “good morning”, “good afternoon” and a little more,’ he told Onda Cero.

‘My daughter’s face has changed colour – it looks like she’s been living in a cave.

‘I am under contract, so the club will decide, but I want to leave.

‘I haven’t played in six months. I’m not angry with Guardiola and he doesn’t have to have reasons to be angry with me, either. It simply hasn’t gone well.

‘Now I will do everything possible to make Spain’s World Cup squad.’

Nolito scored six goals in 30 appearances for City following a £13.8million move last summer, but he hasn’t played since April and his last goal came in a 4-2 defeat to Leicester City in December.
