Manchester City has opted to retain Nico O'Reilly by agreeing to a new contract with the young midfielder. Chelsea made a bid for him in January, reflecting his quality, which is acknowledged by former financial advisor Stefan Borson. O'Reilly is regarded as one of the top five players fans would not want to see sold. His position within the team remains uncertain due to the presence of other players like Ait-Nouri and potential loan options are considered as possibilities for his development.
Chelsea bid for him in January through their links through Joe Shields and various other people who have historic links with City, so they know where the quality is at City.
O'Reilly would be possibly in the top five players that I wouldn't have wanted to have been sold as a City fan.
The bigger issue City have got is where he plays and how he gets in the team.
They had some offers from Germany, and you would have thought we would have been looking at maybe £30-40million for him.
