Chloe Kelly from Manchester City has rejected the chance to move to Brighton – with her preference to stay in Manchester in the midst of interest from Rivals United.
Kelly is disappointed that she has not yet been able to leave the city this month – and released a strongly fortified post on social media about her future on Wednesday.
Sky Sports News understands that City has so far received only one suitable offer for Kelly and that has been to her to consider before the window is closed.
One source has told us that Brighton has submitted a loan offer, but she is convinced that City would demand more from a United offer.
Sky Sports News reached to Kelly on Wednesday after she said on Instagram that she was “disappointed” that “with whom she can and cannot” participate “for her. This follows a breakdown in the relationships between the club and her Management, without resolution still to be found despite meetings.
It is understanding that the club told her that she cannot be replaced this month, but they then signed Rebecca Knaak from RC Rosengard, and she feels that the club holds her as a matter of pride.
Kelly's contract with City ends in four months and England manager Sarina Wiegman is assumed that she would like to get a regular playing time for the euros this summer. Kelly still regards himself as a “top three” player.
Kelly said on Wednesday in her statement: “For a long time I tried to go through professional challenges privately, not publicly commenting, but with my situation increasingly in the public domain, I think it's time to be open and transparent, and you heard it From my perspective.
“An important lesson that I have learned in my life is that, although I cannot control the negative behavior of someone, I can determine how long I am willing to tolerate it. From the first day I have felt so much love of mine Teammates and the fans.
“With my contract that ends in June, I accepted that my future is not in this club afterwards. With the euros that is approaching quickly, this summer is a huge and I want to give it my best to represent my land. “
