DONE DEAL? Celta Vigo forward Nolito agrees Man City deal

Nolito has reportedly agreed to join Manchester City.

Spanish station TV3 suggests that the Celta Vigo forward is set to join City on a three-year deal.

It is understood that City have met Nolito's release clause of £14.1million as he prepares to reunite with former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.

Nolito, 29, was believed to be keen on a return to Barcelona but was becoming impatient about their lack of pursuit and will now link up with Guardiola at Etihad Stadium.

The Spain international, who is away with La Roja at Euro2016, will follow Ilkay Gundogan to Manchester after the German midfielder joined from Borussia Dortmund earlier this month.
