Nolito says he had to swap Manchester City for Sevilla as he ‘needed a change.’

The forward has joined the Spanish club on a three-year deal for a fee in the region of £8m.

The move comes just a year after the 30-year-old joined Manchester City from Celta Vigo for £13.8m.

During his time in England, Nolito bagged six goals and he impressed when given the opportunity to shine.

However, he has now revealed he had to move on from Manchester as he wanted a new challenge.

“There are a lot of differences, in Manchester it was raining last week,” joked Nolito at his official unveiling in Spain.

“The philosophy, the climate and the people are all different.

“I needed a change and felt that the change to come here is perfect, I still can’t believe I’m at this club.

“I’m very happy to have signed for Sevilla and to be in this wonderful city.”
