Manchester City outcast Nolito plots La Liga return as unsettled star opens talks with Real Betis over £3.4m deal

Manchester City forward Nolito is in talks over a return to Spain with Real Betis.

The clubs are discussing a cut-price fee of around £3.4million for the 30-year-old who joined City for £13.8m from Celta Vigo in July.

He has made 19 Premier League appearances for Pep Guardiola's side, scoring four goals but he has played just 42 minutes of league football since the turn of the year and has only started the FA Cup win at Huddersfield in 2017.

Betis are 15th in La Liga and may yet find difficulties matching Nolito's £100,000-a-week wages.
