Cole Palmer’s departure from Chelsea has been mentioned.
According to reports, one Premier League team is prepared to break the British transfer record in an attempt to get Cole Palmer to leave Chelsea.
Palmer, 23, left the Etihad Stadium for Chelsea in the summer of 2023 after rising through the ranks at Manchester City.
After reportedly paying £42.5 million to join the Stamford Bridge club, the Englishman has subsequently become a vital member of the squad.
Palmer has scored 43 goals in 97 games so far, and during the 24–25 season, he has assisted Chelsea in winning both the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Conference League.
It was recently reported that Palmer would be interested in making a world-record transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, the French Ligue 1 powerhouse and Champions League winners.
The 23-year-old may now be the target of a high-profile move from a Premier League team.
Palmer’s old team, City, is willing to pay £147 million to re-sign the England international, according to Spanish news source Fichajes.
Palmer’s skill has long been ‘admired’ by City manager Pep Guardiola, who reportedly wants to get him back to the team ‘at all costs’.
Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Sverre Nypan, and Marcus Bettinelli are among the players City has signed so far this summer.
Guardiola wants to assemble a team that can win the Premier League again after Arne Slot’s Liverpool ended their supremacy the previous season.
Along with the recent additions, City will benefit greatly from Rodri, the Ballon d’Or winner and a key midfielder, getting closer to full fitness.
Regarding Cole Palmer, what has Pep Guardiola stated?
Guardiola lavished his former teammate with praise back in March, saying: “We knew the quality he has and the impact he has shown this season is enormous.”
“Quality is more important than goals and assists. He poses a serious risk to Chelsea. You won’t forget in the future. Although it appears simple, it’s not.
Guardiola and his team will play again next month when they play Palermo at the Renzo Barbera Stadium after their FIFA Club World Cup campaign was ended by Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal.
Following that, on August 16, City will play Wolverhampton Wanderers in the start of their 25–26 Premier League season.
