I don’t think that was actually the intention. In fact Pep has said he told Palmer he would get more minutes now that Mahrez had left. And he would have, even with Doku arriving.I could be wrong, but I’d have thought the signing of Doku was a big influence. He was meant to be the mahrez replacement and I think that signing put an end to that/ meant less game time.
I wouldn’t doubt Palmer saw Doku’s signing differently.
But, ultimately, it was more about us not being able to guarantee a more prominent role that saw him want away.
We couldn’t give him what he wanted, which was a different path to what Foden took.
