Sevilla midfielder Samir Nasri revealed why he decided to make a loan move from Manchester City, insisting he found the "perfect" club.
Nasri, 29, joined the LaLiga outfit on a season-long loan in August, having spent the previous five campaigns at City.
"I had a good pre-season but needed a change. Guardiola wanted me to stay," he told Sevilla's Football Club 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."
"I also asked Jesus Navas, [David] Silva and Nolito about the club, the city, and everything was good," he said.
"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."
