Manuel Agudo Durán, better known as Nolito, was a Barcelona transfer target for the better part of a year before signing with Manchester City this summer. The Spaniard has quickly become a fan favorite in Manchester, and is perhaps the bargain of the season in the Premier League, costing just €15 million to Pep Guardiola.
Nolito was a Barça B and Celta Vigo star during his time in Spain, thanks in most part to the help from current Blaugrana manager Luis Enrique, who coached Nolito in both teams. In fact, it was Lucho who helped Nolito become an elite player by helping him lose weight and believe in himself.
