Jesus Navas says he knew he was going to move to Manchester City months ago There had been speculation Real Madrid were keen on his services, but Navas, who has spent his entire career to date with his local club Sevilla, said he had made up his mind on a switch to City long ago. Speaking to Sevilla's website, he added: "It was my choice. I'm very happy with the decision. I wanted to continue growing there and they've put a lot of faith in me and I want to continue doing well there. It's difficult because I've spent many years enjoying playing in front of these fans but I've made my decision, I wanted to go there. It's a good step for me and I never had any hesitation. I want to thank the (Sevilla) fans and the club for all that they've given me. Navas is widely expected to be joined at City by Manuel Pellegrini, with the Chilean favourite to take over the vacant managerial post at the Etihad Stadium. Navas, who is on Spain duty ahead of the upcoming Confederations Cup in Brazil, said: "I don't know Pellegrini personally, but I've heard good things about him. He's a great coach.
