Pep Guardiola says Manchester City winger Cole Palmer could be sold this month despite his fine finish against Sevilla

Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that he is unsure about Cole Palmer’s future with Manchester City.

The 21-year-old has had a productive start to the season, scoring in Man City’s Community Shield loss to Arsenal and then getting the equalizer against Sevilla as Man City won the UEFA Super Cup following a penalty shootout.

Palmer scored after 63 minutes with a deft header, giving Man City manager Guardiola another apparent reason to give him frequent opportunities in the first team this year.

Although this is the case, he has been the focus of rumors this summer, with Brighton and West Ham among those who are reportedly keeping an eye on him. Pep Guardiola acknowledged following the Super Cup final that he was unsure of Palmer’s future plans.’The impression I had when he arrived is that he wanted to leave, but now I don’t know what’s going to happen,’ he told reporters after the game.I don’t believe a loan will be granted. He’s either going to stay or sell, but I don’t think a loan will be approved.I understand he wants to be more active than last season, the Spaniard continued. However, Riyad [Mahrez] has left, leaving us with one more spot there. Since the club must, of course, make all choices, I am powerless to speak. The best must be chosen by the club. Together, we shall succeed.He lauded the young player for his effort in the win over Sevilla despite uncertainties over his future.He has character, according to Guardiola. Playing against top defenders, such as (Marcos) Acuna, for instance, is difficult.It’s a final, therefore it’s not simple. He is a young player competing at this level. These men have it tough. He displayed excellent skill while also scoring a terrific goal. The right-back’s future has also been uncertain because a transfer to Bayern Munich had appeared to be in the cards for Walker. The most recent rumors, however, indicate that the right-back has changed his mind and will remain with the Blues. Guardiola refused to comment on Walker when pressed and said there has been “no update” as of yet.
