Manchester City star Nolito warns he could quit unless Pep Guardiola grants him more first-team opportunities

Nolito has warned that he could quit Manchester City after just one season at the Etihad if he doesn’t play more under Pep Guardiola.

The 30-year-old Spain forward was one of Guardiola’s first signings last summer when he chose a £13.8million move to City from Celta Vigo ahead of joining Barcelona.

The chance of more first-team opportunities was one of the reasons behind the decision, but he has started just one game this year — against Huddersfield in the FA Cup — and has not scored since December.

Nolito has been linked with a swift return to Celta this summer and admits that he may look to leave City if the situation shows no sign of improving.
