Man City’s Nolito move could help save the player’s former club

Celta Vigo aren't the only club set to cash in on Nolito after the Spaniard's move to Manchester City.

City have forked out a reported £13.8m for the forward, who scored once in his country's Euro 2016 campaign. And, while the bulk of the fee will go to the La Liga outfit, €180,000 will go the way of one of Nolito's previous clubs, Écija Balompié. Goal.com reports that the sum - the equivalent of  - acts as compensation for the club training the 29-year-old as a youngster. And it could help stave off insolvency, with the club reporting debts of just under a quarter of a million Euros. Nolito was at Écija from 2006-2008, having joined from his local club Atlético Sanluqueño. At the time, the club was plying its trade in Spain's third tier - Segunda División B - but they have since dropped down to the Tercera División. According to Goal, the club are entitled to 1% of the transfer fee due to FIFA's 'training compensation rules', as he spent time at the club before the age of 23, and this accounts for more than three quarters of their current debts. Nolito may have just done his former club a massive favour.
