Manchester City forward Nolito has admitted that he would like to return to former club Celta Vigo after struggling to adapt to life in England.
The 30-year-old joined City in the summer in a £13.8m deal and has started his career at the Etihad well – scoring five goals in 15 appearances.
However, the Spain international wants to return to Spain one day, but has not said when he will be looking to moved back.
I miss Celta a lot. I would like to return. Provided I can, I will return.
Speaking to Marca, Nolito has revealed his difficulties in socialising as he cannot speak English, and has not been forced to do so with manager Pep Guardiola and several teammates speaking his native language. He has also expressed feelings of loneliness in his first few months in England.
I felt a little alone but in the dressing room we speak a lot of Spanish. That is why I chose not to study English – with Pablo Zabaleta, David Silva, Jesus Navas, Sergio Aguero and lots of Spanish-speaking technical staff.
Nolito is not the first Spaniard to struggle to feel at home in England. Alvaro Negredo left City to return to Spain in 2014 after one season with the club.
