Bundesliga and Premier League Clubs Target Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly
Nico O’Reilly is getting a lot of attention from Bundesliga and Premier League clubs. He wants more regular first-team football, which will be important for his next career move before the 2025/26 season.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Clubs from Germany and England are interested in Manchester City‘s 20-year-old midfielder. Talks are happening as these teams plan to make serious offers. O’Reilly wants to play more, and many clubs will let him start regularly next season. His agents are talking with these teams, and the promise of first-team football will help him decide.
WHY THE INTEREST IN O’REILLY?
O’Reilly has played 12 times for Manchester City this season, scoring three goals and assisting two more. This is good for a young player at a big club. He scored important goals, including one at Goodison Park, which keeps City fighting for a Champions League spot. City wants to finish in the top four of the Premier League, and they’re competing with teams like Chelsea. In January, O’Reilly turned down a move to Chelsea to stay in Manchester.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT?
Manchester City wants to extend O’Reilly’s contract, which ends in June 2028. They want to keep him at the club. But if he doesn’t get more playtime, he might go to a team that lets him start more. City’s next Premier League game is against Wolves, which is important for their European hopes. If he moves, he could help a new team aiming for Europe or rebuilding for next season.
