Manchester City Refuses to Repeat Palmer Mistake
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has disclosed Chelsea's attempt to sign Manchester City young player Nico O'Reilly.
Romano stated that Chelsea tried to acquire the player last January, following the same approach they used to sign their current star Cole Palmer.
However, City rejected the proposal as they wanted to retain the 19-year-old, who could be crucial for the club in the future.
O'Reilly shone yesterday in City's victory over Plymouth, scoring two goals and leading the team to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
