Cole Palmer, a 21-year-old forward, requested to leave Manchester City multiple times before eventually transferring to Chelsea for £42.5 million in September. Palmer, who had been part of Manchester City’s treble-winning squad, scored in key matches for the team before deciding to pursue more regular first-team minutes. He now shares the Premier League Golden Boot lead with Erling Haaland, scoring multiple hat-tricks and performing well in both league and cup competitions.

Guardiola praised Palmer’s exceptional talent and potential, acknowledging that he did not give the player the minutes he deserved.
