Chelsea will only consider selling Cole Palmer if they receive a world-record offer, which might be be Manchester City’s reported interest.
According to Football Insider, Chelsea will only consider selling Cole Palmer if they are to receive a world-record offer from somewhere. The Blues have tied down the England international to a long-term deal until 2033, meaning they have a big say in deciding his future amid Manchester City’s recent interest.
Cole Palmer has made a solid impact at Chelsea, which is reminiscent of Mohamed Salah’s when he first joined Liverpool. Palmer was in the conversation for the Golden Boot last season, as his current numbers read an astonishing 31 goals and 20 assists in 54 games across all competitions.
Recent links to Manchester City may not have come as a surprise to many, as a club of their stature has the ability to bring any top player in the world. Cole Palmer was part of their revered academy, and they decided to sell him to Chelsea only a year ago for a deal of around £40-45 million.
Chelsea have been utterly silent in the wake of those links, but it’s been suggested they are not worried about Palmer’s future. In fact, they will not consider any offers from elsewhere unless it beats the current ‘world record’.
Neymar’s move to Paris Saint-Germain many years ago remains the benchmark in that aspect, meaning Manchester City will have to pay over £200 million to sign their former star. Hence, it’s a blow for Pep Guardiola, who might have briefly thought about the 22-year-old Chelsea mainstay as a potential long-term replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who could leave the club next summer when his deal expires.
Chelsea relaxed about Palmer’s future
Chelsea will continue investing in young players who could go on to become big stars in the future. Palmer is at the centre of this project and currently their star man on the pitch. His tremendous performances have already seen him sign an extension that made his otherwise long-term deal even longer, as now, his current agreement lasts until 2033.
Chelsea is aware that they are in control of Palmer’s future for now. So even if some reports suggest Manchester City are willing to pay around £150 million, the Blues will feel that will not convince them to sell their 22-year-old mainstay.
