On loan Manchester
City midfielder, Nasri has revealed the reason for going to Sevilla for his
loan stint, stating the club was perfect for him.
The 29-year-old
midfielder joined the La Liga outfit on a season long loan in August after
spending five years with Manchester City.
The Frenchman has
already scored three goals in 13 appearances for Sevilla and revealed he wanted
to leave despite Guardiola wanting him to stay.
“I had a good
pre-season but needed a change. Guardiola wanted me to stay,” he told Sevilla’s
official magazine.
“In my last season,
I had many injuries and wanted to start something new, fresh. So I contacted
other clubs but, when I heard Sevilla, I knew I needed to come here.
“If you know
anything about football, you know that Sevilla has returned many players back
to the top.”
There were also
other factors for Nasri, who said that he spoke to City team-mates before
deciding his next move.
“I also asked Jesus
Navas, [David] Silva and Nolito about the club, the city, and everything was
good,” he enthused.
“There was good
food, very nice girls… I talked to Guardiola and he told me there is a great
coach in [Sevilla assistant] Juanma Lillo. That was all I needed to know. It
was perfect for me.”
