Sevilla are closing in on the signing of Manchester City winger Nolito, according to the Spanish club's president.
Nolito wants to return to La Liga after a disappointing first season in the Premier League where he was frustrated by a lack of playing time.
Under contract with City until June 2020, Nolito, who joined from Celta Vigo last summer, is a target for several Spanish clubs.
"When you talk about top players you can't say that the deal is done but it's true that we have taken a step forward for Nolito to play at Sevilla," club president Jose Castro told Cadena Ser Radio Sevilla.
