Man City “reject the day's approach to the deadline of Chelsea” but has terms to conclude an agreement

Manchester City would have slapped an approach to Chelsea for midfielder Nico O'Reilly.

The 19 -year -old hit the door of the first team from Pep Guardiola this season with departures from the community shield, the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. He opened his senior account against Salford City last month and impressed with replacement appearances in the Premier League and Europe.

According to ESPN, Chelsea tested the waters concerning a move for O'Reilly, but they were overthrown by the title champions of the Premier League. However, it is said that City would be willing to sell the young person if a buyout clause is included in any potential transaction.

Born in Manchester, O'Reilly is part of the city academy since 2011. His progress has seen him rewarded with the recognition of England, and he is capped at the level of the under 20 with the three Lions.

City has done the current practice of buyout clauses when selling their best talents in recent years. They would have had the opportunity to bring Romeo Lavia back to the Etihad stadium before his move to Stamford Bridge, and they have the same opportunity with the city of Ipswich, Liam Delap.

The Blues made a murder by selling talents from the academy, with Lavia and Delap among those to recover beautiful costs on the transfer market. These sales left City in a healthy PSR position, which financed their frivolous expenses in the current window.

Guardiola has taken this turbulent season as its signal this season to cause a reconstruction of the team. The club spent big on Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, while the 18 -year -old defender Juma Bah was signed by the real Valladolid before being sent on loan to the goal.

And City now seems ready to undoubtedly solve their biggest problem in the campaign, after the rupture of the Rodri LCA, by signing a fully-action midfielder. Fabrizio Romano claims that City and FC Porto have entered into an agreement for Nico Gonzalez, which involves a total package of 50 million pounds sterling.

Gonzalez was still likely to order high fees because his former club, Barcelona, ​​would be due up to 40% due to a sales clause that they included in his move to Portugal.

The 23 -year -old, who can play as an anchor of midfielder or as a boxed box option, scored five goals and filed three assists in the League this quarter. He also contributed to three goals in seven games from the Europa League.
