Report: Intermediaries working on potential exit for £40m Chelsea star
Cole Palmer is just the latest player to be linked with a move away from Chelsea.
Enzo Fernandez has been dominating the headlines amid speculation about a transfer to Real Madrid this summer. It was recently claimed that Fernandez’s head has been turned a bit, putting his future in doubt.
Now there is talk about Palmer also leaving Chelsea at the end of the season.
Intermediaries gauging interest in Chelsea’s Cole Palmer
Last week, it was said that Palmer misses playing alongside Nicolas Jackson and is unhappy with some of Liam Rosenior’s tactics.
According to TEAMtalk, intermediaries have now been working behind the scenes to gauge interest from other clubs.
Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all been approached, the same outlet states.
Despite picking up a couple of injuries this season and not being as consistent as he was in previous campaigns, Palmer is still Chelsea’s second-highest goalscorer in the top flight.
In 20 appearances, the £40m attacking midfielder has scored nine goals. Only Joao Pedro has netted on more occasions.
Ultimately, Palmer is not a player Chelsea should be looking to sell when the transfer window opens.
Cole Palmer sale would be unforgivable
Chelsea fans are already far from happy with the club’s owners and sporting directors. Selling Palmer would be the final straw, especially if he is sold to another Premier League club like United.
It would also set Chelsea’s “project” back massively. The 23-year-old is the Blues’ best player and one of the most dangerous attackers in world football.
They will end up losing their main goal source and will struggle to find someone whose output matches his.
Palmer may very well be unhappy at Chelsea, which would not be a complete shock given where the team are right now, but he has a contract until 2033. The club are under no pressure to sell him this summer.
