Pep Guardiola, on the sale of Cole Palmer: “It is not a mistake. We didn’t give him enough minutes”

Asked if he regrets losing Cole Palmer, Pep Guardiola denied thisbecause he understood that the attacking midfielder’s decision to leave Manchester City was due to the fact that he was not playing enough at the “Queen of Europe”.

“(wasn’t selling Cole Palmer a mistake?) No… We didn’t give him the minutes he deserves and he’s getting them now at Chelsea. I completely understand why he left. He’s a nice guy, a shy guy. And it has incredible potential. I’m happy for him.

For two seasons he asked to leave. And I told him: ‘No, stay, stay’. And he said: ‘No, I want to leave’. So what can we do?”Guardiola said, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
