Pep has always been very clear on not keeping players who want to leave, other than Bernardo Silva. It doesn't seem to bother him at all when players come and go, he knows they'll fund replacements of the same level.
It was also a great deal for FFP (as if City care!), £40m for an academy player. It's also why there's any suggestion Chelsea would sell their current captain to fund more headless chicken-style purchases.

I don’t think he’s that good, I think City might have made the right call in letting him go. He can maybe score 10-15 goals a season, but is not a 20 goal a season Man City are looking for. No way would I have been happy to trade Mitoma for him, despite Mitoma’s recent poor form.

Thank god we avoided this FLOP eh.

This. Above our pay grade. Yes he's looked shite in a few games, but then so has Caicedo and the majority of the Chelsea squad. Still think he's quality and put in a decent team and under a good manager, he'd shine.

What I heard was we were after him on loan (then to buy?) and he was keen to come here but city decided to sell and Chelsea stepped in with an offer we were never going to compete with.
Some funny comments on this thread.

We wanted him on loan, reportedly. He wouldn't have been on mega money so I'm sure we could've afforded it. Certainly, would've been cheaper than Fati.

Looks like the chances are the loan thing was made up then:
But he admits his permanent exit from City, where he only started three Premier League games having come through their youth academy, was not planned.
"My thing was to never leave City," he told Sky Sports' Patrick Davison ahead of Chelsea's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Middlesbrough on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports.
"That was not my intention. I wanted to go on loan for a year, come back and be ready for the first team.
"But they said I couldn't go on loan, either stay or you get sold.

No.Moder managed similar against WHU didn’t he
I don’t actually think that chance was as easy as being made out. It came at him quite high and happened at a speed that made it very difficult to adjust his body.

Why does that mean we or other clubs weren't keen on a loan? Naylor confirmed the interest in the player was genuine.
