Celta Vigo attacker Nolito proud Barcelona, Man City 'are interested'

Celta Vigo attacker Nolito is proud to be a target for Manchester City and Barcelona.

City are hoping to seal the £14million capture of the Spain winger, who has impressed at Euro 2016, but face competition from Barcelona.

“It's a matter of pride if two major coaches like Luis Enrique and Guardiola notice you and are interested," said Nolito.

“I'm lucky that I'm being considered, and that strengthens me, but I'm focused on the Euros and nothing else. I've not spoken to either of them."

City are said to have moved ahead of Barca in the race to sign Nolito, who fears he would play more games under Guardiola than Enrique.

The Celta Vigo star, 29, added: “I'm here enjoying this like a child, and not thinking about it. If Barcelona buy another striker, I have no problem, congratulations to them."
