Manchester City had no choice but to respect Cole Palmer’s decision to join Chelsea, according to assistant manager Juanma Lillo. Lillo, who is temporarily in charge of the team while Pep Guardiola recovers from surgery, explained that when a player expresses a desire to leave, it is difficult for the club to stand in their way. He also emphasized the pride that Manchester City feels in developing young players like Palmer, who commanded a transfer fee of £42.5 million. Lillo mentioned that City is also allowing James McAtee to go on loan to Sheffield United and that Joao Cancelo is seeking a move to Barcelona. He provided updates on the fitness of John Stones and Manuel Akanji and assured that he maintains regular contact with Guardiola, who is recovering well and eager to return. Overall, Lillo expressed satisfaction with City’s role in nurturing talent and acknowledged that denying a player the opportunity to pursue their ambitions is challenging.
