Cole Palmer is increasingly being linked with a departure from Chelsea. According to the latest updates from the British newspaper “The Sun,” the 23-year-old midfielder might be considering his options.
The report suggests that the English star isn’t entirely satisfied with his current experience in London. Changes in tactics introduced by The Blues’ manager, Liam Rosenior, have reportedly restricted Palmer’s creative freedom on the pitch, leading to his discontent.
The front-runner in the race to sign the 13-time England international appears to be Manchester United. It is said that the attacking midfielder may be eager to return to his hometown, where his footballing journey began.
It remains to be seen whether the Old Trafford club will present an official offer for Cole Palmer in the coming months. While Manchester United is aiming to reinforce its squad, the club reportedly prioritises bolstering competition in other areas of the team.
The English star has been representing Chelsea since September 2023, following his transfer from Manchester City to Stamford Bridge for €47 million. During his ongoing season, the attacking midfielder has made 25 appearances, scoring 10 goals and contributing 3 assists. The specialised football portal “Transfermarkt” values Palmer at approximately €110 million, with his current contract in effect until June 30, 2033.
