Over the last few weeks, Barcelona have been heavily linked with Celta Vigo forward Nolito, due to the strong reports of a potential Pedro Rodríguez move away from Camp Nou.
Nolito is the only Celta player to have missed the entire team's preseason, which only contributed to the rumors of him joining the Blaugrana and former coach Luis Enrique. But Celta's manager, Eduardo Berizzo, decided to put a stop to the whole nonsense, and played down the possibility of his star leaving the club.
But he might have gone too far in complimenting Nolito.
