Can we get excited? 
 

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/burnley-and-leicester-city-hold-strong-interest-in-man-city-attacker/
 

Burnley and Leicester City are leading the chase for the Man City attacker.

 

 

Not only do Manchester City possess a first-team that is unrivalled in world football but they also have an academy full of exciting talent and are continuing to produce stars of the game. 

Footballleagueworld video of the day

Of course, the Premier League champions will be looking to continue strengthening and improving the squad, whilst they will be looking at loan destinations for some of their rising talents, in order to continue individual development.

Seeing lots of their players shine last season whilst on temporary spells, in the likes of James Trafford, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Tommy Doyle and James McAtee, amongst others, it remains to be seen which youngsters are tasked with gaining EFL experience this time around. 

Which Man City player are Burnley and Leicester City leading the chase for? 

According to a Patreon report from journalist Alan Nixon, Man City winger Cole Palmer, who has decent exposure to the Premier League, is the player that is being considered by Burnley and Leicester City, with it being that pair who have the best chance of landing the 21-year-old.

Palmer played an important role during England U21s Eruopean Championship-winning campaign and is a very exciting prospect who will have extremely high personal ambitions. 

Of course, Burnley are led by former Man City centre-back Vincent Kompany, whilst the new Leicester boss is Enzo Maresca, a coach who thrived under Pep Guardiola's leadership, making this race to sign Palmer rather interesting. 

Kompany is a huge admirer of Palmer but it has been detailed in the report that assurances would have to be made to ensure that Palmer gets significant game time at Turf Moor and it remains to be seen if that would be possible when considering the talent out wide that the Clarets already possess. 

 

The report has also labelled a stumbling block in Leicester's push for Palmer, in that City believe he will be 'too good' for the Championship, although the possibility of moving to the second tier has not been completely ruled out.

Palmer has been given some time off after his time with England's U21s earlier in the month and will soon return to discuss what the next best move will be with next season in mind. 

What else is going on at Leicester City during this summer transfer window?

Like the other two relegated teams, Leicester face a real battle to keep hold of some of their star performers, with James Maddison already heading for pastures new at Tottenham Hotspur, whilst Caglar Soyuncu and Youri Tielemans have also left the club. 

Harvey Barnes could be the next player to follow the aforementioned departed trio, with an exclusive write-up from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano suggesting that the winger is closing in on a move to Newcastle United.

In a bid to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming campaign, a report from The Telegraph has revealed that the Foxes are working on a move that would see exciting Chelsea starlet Cesare Casadei arrive at the King Power Stadium on loan, with the 20-year-old impressing with Italy's U21s earlier in the summer.

I just can't see this happening. Maybe we made enquiries but he's made the first team at Man City and is definitely a level about Championship. 

 

Burnley is probably a good shout for him to go.

Burnley will only be a good move for him if he's going to play. He's going to be looking higher than the Championship ideally but our trump cards will be Maresca and the fact he'll be playing a lot of football.

As I said on the Twitter Transfer Rumours thread, I think this could be on for us.  Maresca will be only too aware of his abilities, having Coached him.  We were linked with him a few weeks ago.  Sambiasso says there is a strong possibility of one more player coming in this week - and it can't be another defender !  And looking at Burnley's squad and recruitment this window, they do seem to have a good selection of attacking midfielders already.

Heade 25 appearances in all competitions foran city last season, I can't see them loaning him out to a championship club.

As with all these things, it depends on the club and it depends on what Man City want him to work on. He played 850 mins over those 25 games so on average 34 mins per game. 

 

If Man City want him to work on his durability and physicality then a season playing every week in the Championship is beneficial. If they want him to work on his skills and pace of the game then Premiership though he'll probably play less in the Prem.

Not as simple as ‘Burnley is in the PL so he will go there’. Loans are about having a player developed, so Man City will want him to go to a club playing the right style of football. A lower league team who may not be attacking as much may not be the best move for the player.
Not quite sure what the style of play will be, but hopefully Maresca can be an influence.

And Kompany won't? Maresca doesn't have the ManCity link advantage over Burnley.

Yes. Did you watch them under Kompany last season? You're being incredibly naive if you think he's coming here over Burnley. It's like people still haven't let the relegation sink in sometimes.

Yes, but style of play for Bur let in the PL will be different than the Championship.

He may well go to Burnley, I’m just saying it’s not as simple as a PL team easily wins over a Championship team - other factors involved.

Only reason we would be able to get him ahead of Burnley is if Burnley cannot offer him starting every week like we could

He’s the one, but I just can’t see it happening. If game time is the decider we might have a chance but I’m not holding out any hope 

Think a player of his quality easily starts at Burnley.

Honestly think we've got a decent shout with all these youngsters when it comes to us competing with bottom half PL clubs.

 

It's the same reason Chelsea will probably be happy to send us Casadei. We can offer those youngsters regular minutes in a side that's likely going to dominate possession and play the way a top PL club is expected to play against lesser opposition. When the going gets tough at PL clubs it's the experienced heads that are gonna get minutes and it will be pragmatic football, anything to get the points.

 

And obviously Man City know he'd be in excellent hands with Enzo, which in fairness is the same case with Kompany. So at the end of the day Man City/ Palmer will essentially have to make their decision based on whether they think Burnley's or our style of football is going to be more valuable for his development
