- Chelsea could not convince the city to let another attack prospect

According to reports, Chelsea tried to sign a Manchester City star very touched in January, just for his advances to be rejected.
The blues made only the acquisition during the winter window when Mathis Amougou arrived from St Etienne for a rate of £ 12.5 million, providing more coverage in the midfield.
However, fans were disappointed by the lack of attacker reinforcements, something that has received criticism after injuries to Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu, as well as the departure of loans by Joao Felix.
That said, the absence of an advance firm was not without trying from the Chelsea hierarchy, with new reports that affirmed that the club made efforts to bring the next school Palmer.
Chelsea asked about the availability of the city's leaflet, Nico O'Reilly, according to Athletic, but were quickly beaten by the renowned Premier League champions.
The 19 -year -old attacking midfielder is seen as a great talent by the superiors of Man City and, although he has only achieved a handful of senior appearances under Pep Guardiola this term, it is absolutely considered one for the future.

City let Palmer go to Chelsea in 2023, who has destroyed the Premier League since then
City has already felt the burn of letting one of its main wonders go to Stamford Bridge, with Palmer establishing himself at the top of the Premier League goals since he moved to Chelsea in 2023.
As such, citizens are interested in not making the same mistake again and were unequivocal in their response to Chelsea's advances, something David Ornstein has acclaimed as the best business in the city.
“I was going to mention the best signature of the City window, well, not a firm, but a retention, Nico O'Reilly, who has the maximum potential,” he told The Athletic.
“Chelsea tried to sign it and make a brand of Cole Palmer Dos, but City managed to keep it, and you will remember when it arrives well.”
City was one of the most active clubs in the Premier League during the winter transfer window, splashed £ 170 million to land Omar Marmous, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Nico González before the deadline last Monday.
However, Guardiola has reiterated the city's commitment to use its youth stars while the club prepares for a second half full of the season.
“We had many problems with injuries, so we cannot lend or sell,” he said.
'That's why we need Nico (O'Reilly), all players, (James) Mcatee, (divin) Mubama, all of them. There are many games and we need them.
