Manchester City overcame Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup earlier this week and Cole Palmer starred for the treble winners. After the clash, Pep Guardiola admitted the forward could either stay or be sold this summer.
Sport1 state Borussia Dortmund have been following the 21-year-old for a long time and are now ‘hot’ for the ‘absolute top talent’ in England.
The Manchester City academy graduate can operate on the wings and as an attacking midfielder.
The report states Manchester City should ‘demand significantly more’ than his current market value of over €18m.
This is the ‘sticking point’ in the negotiations between the two clubs as the Bundesliga side cannot meet the Citizens’ demands for their ‘exceptional talent’.
BVB cannot take him on loan after Guardiola insisted Palmer won’t be allowed to leave on a temporary deal.
If Dortmund were to sign the England U21 international, Sport1 are of the belief he would strengthen their attack with his ‘character, dribbling and goal threat’.
That would only be possible if they find an agreement with Manchester City.
