Analysis

Nolito is a lost man at Manchester. He has not started a game since February and struggle to consistently get on the pitch. It does not help that he is having a hard time adjusting to the life in England. Despite his versatility at the forward positions, the Spaniard fell out of favor with Guardiola. Even with the need at the winger position, Nolito failed to consistently make an appearance. His playmaking ability is there, but the lack of physical tools ultimately failed him.

Clubs like Sevilla and his former club Celta Vigo seem to be in the running for the Spaniard. However, Manchester City blocked any loan moves for Nolito as a permanent transfer is a priority.

Verdict: SELL

He is not going to play anytime soon, and he is a headache at this point. A move back to Spain seems to be in order for him.
