NICO O’REILLY STUNNED BY CHELSEA PLAYER, DESCRIBES ABILITY AS CRAZY

Man City's Nico O'Reilly names Raheem Sterling in his all-time England XI, praising the Chelsea winger's "insane" technical ability and speed, despite the 30-year-old's current struggles at Stamford Bridge.

This season, Nico O'Reilly has emerged as one of the Premier League's biggest stars, and he believes that one Chelsea player is among the best to represent his nation.

O'Reilly has a remarkable talent. Despite only being 20 years old, he is already vying for a starting position for England and appears to have secured the left side of defence under Pep Guardiola.

Over the past few windows, Chelsea made inquiries about signing O'Reilly, but the City manager was unwilling to let him go.

When asked for his all-time Premier League/England starting lineup, the City kid, who is now playing for his nation, was quick to name one Chelsea attacker. You could be surprised, though.

Raheem Sterling is included in Nico O'Reilly's all-time England starting lineup.


Although you might have expected O'Reilly to select Cole Palmer, a former academy teammate, he has chosen to pick a star from the previous generation.

Raheem Sterling used to be regarded as one of the greatest in his position, but these days, he is not the most popular man at Stamford Bridge.

"Right wing, I am going with Sterling," O'Reilly said in an appearance on the Man City YouTube channel. His actions at City were insane. He is also quite technical and speedy for England. He gave me some assistance when I first started training with him.

Chelsea has fired Sterling after failing to find a replacement for him throughout the summer.

The Englishman has virtually disappeared from the scene these days, and Sterling has caused Chelsea to alter their contracting practices.

Even though he is no longer a Premier League star, his heyday was spectacular. Under Guardiola, only Lionel Messi has more goal involvements.

With a weekly salary of £325,000, Sterling is by far Chelsea's most expensive player.

No matter how you look at it, it does not make financial sense for Todd Boehly to fulfil his end of the bargain and put an end to a torturous ordeal for all parties.

It is not only about the money, though. This tail-off from a player who inspired football fans for years is heartbreaking, in my opinion.

Chelsea may be able to let go of the 30-year-old in January, but he has made it clear that he wants to stay in England.

O'Reilly is correct. Although Sterling was incredibly talented for both City and Liverpool, his tenure on both sides of London has been anything but.

Manchester City is planning a bold move for the 22-year-old, who is among the top young talents in the world. According to Fichajes, they are willing to pay €150 million to complete the acquisition. It will be intriguing to observe whether Real Madrid is willing to approve his exit.

Losing him would be disastrous for the team because he is one of their finest players. It is unlikely that the England international will be forced to leave the team. He is competing at a high level and enjoying playing football with Real Madrid. There is no reason for him to abandon them now.

To complete the transfer, Manchester City will need to persuade the player and his club. For the player, the €150 million offer is a significant sum of money, and Real Madrid might be persuaded. How things turn out is still up in the air.

Since joining the Spanish team, the midfield player has scored 41 goals and provided 29 assists. Since he is still extremely young, coaching and experience could help him get better. He has everything he needs to become the next big star. Real Madrid needs to make every effort to keep him with the team.

That being said, Manchester City would be wise to sign him. They need elite players to help them achieve their goal of returning to the top of European football. They have not been convincing this season and were not able to contend for big titles the previous season.

In the midst of the park, someone like Bellingham could have a significant impact. He will supplement with physicality, technical skill, motivation, and objectives. He can play as both an attacking midfielder and a central midfielder. As Manchester City has failed to adequately replace Kevin De Bruyne, the 22-year-old England international may be able to step in.

EDERSON SPEAKS OUT: UNHAPPY MAN CITY DAYS PROMPTED EXIT

Ederson, who wanted to leave Manchester City before moving to Fenerbahce this summer, admitted he was unhappy there.

During his eight years at the Etihad Stadium, he won six Premier League titles and one Champions League trophy, among 18 team honours.

After Gianluigi Donnarumma took his place as City's top goalkeeper, Ederson decided to leave Pep Guardiola at the end of the summer transfer window and join Turkish club Fenerbahce.

However, if it were up to Ederson, he would have left the club much earlier. He cited his unhappiness with the Premier League team due to ongoing injuries.

Ederson said, "I had already tried to leave in a previous season, but it did not work out. I believe that had a minor impact on my performance that season. I was not at my best because I had five injuries."

He continued, "I was somewhat affected by that. My family and I had already decided that, if they were on board, we would talk to the club about leaving. This change was necessary for me. Being at a big, successful club is pointless if you are not happy."

He added, "It would still have had the same impact on me. Having new challenges in life and work is a good thing. With this change, I am enjoying football again and the great atmosphere at the games in Turkey. I am very happy with this new challenge and eager to win."

Ederson has struggled with injuries for the past two seasons; he missed 12 games last season after missing 111 days the previous season due to a variety of ailments.

His issues with Fenerbahce have persisted; in October, he missed two weeks due to an early muscular issue.

However, he remains hopeful as he resumes his international duties with Brazil, who qualified for the 2026 World Cup and will play Senegal in an international friendly on Saturday.
