Man City determined not to lose Cole Palmer 2.0

Another version of Cole Palmer

Last season, Cole Palmer left Man City to join Chelsea and quickly shined, causing many fans of The Citizens to regret. Now, history is at risk of repeating itself as Chelsea continues to target another young talent of Man City, James McAtee.

The 21-year-old midfielder has impressed Pep Guardiola during pre-season and Chelsea scouts are keen to see his talent, with the Blues prepared to pay a big fee for his signature.

However, Man City has made drastic moves to keep this young star. According to reputable sources, the Etihad team is preparing to extend McAtee's contract with an attractive salary. Coach Pep Guardiola has also confirmed that McAtee will have the opportunity to play regularly next season.

Why is Man City determined to keep McAtee?

There are many reasons to explain Man City's decision. Firstly, losing Palmer was a costly lesson for the Etihad team. They realized the importance of keeping young talents and were willing to invest in their development.

Second, McAtee is considered one of the brightest young talents in English football. This player possesses excellent individual technique, good observation ability and an extremely skillful left foot.

Third, Man City fans are increasingly eager to see their academy products play regularly, and keeping McAtee would be a way to meet fan expectations.

Where does McAtee's future lie?

Although highly regarded by Man City, McAtee will still face huge competition in midfield. To get a regular place, this player will need to work very hard.

However, with talent and support from the coaching staff, McAtee can absolutely become one of the world's top midfielders in the future.
