BREAKING NEWS: Live from Stamford bridge, cole Palmer drops disturbing news about his future with Chelsea and a possible move to Real Madrid.
Graeme Souness believes that Cole Palmer’s outstanding performances at Chelsea could now make him worth at least £150 million if a club like Real Madrid were interested. After struggling to secure a first-team spot at Manchester City, despite his potential from their academy, Palmer has found success at Chelsea since his transfer last season.
While Phil Foden succeeded in breaking into City’s senior squad, Palmer couldn’t achieve the same under Pep Guardiola, leading to his move to one of City’s key rivals. At Chelsea, Palmer has thrived, and Souness thinks that if he keeps up this form, Real Madrid might offer a huge fee for the 22-year-old.
Palmer’s Rising Transfer Value
In his column for the Daily Mail, Souness said, “City made a mistake letting Cole Palmer go to Chelsea. There were other players they could have sold. Chelsea paid £40 million for him, but if Real Madrid shows interest next summer and he’s performing like this, a £150 million bid wouldn’t be surprising.”
Palmer’s market value has skyrocketed since joining Chelsea, now estimated to be more than triple the amount paid by the club. This transfer is shaping up to be one of the Premier League’s smartest moves in recent history, considering how quickly Palmer’s profile has risen.
A Win for Chelsea
For Chelsea, this represents a turnaround in their transfer dealings, as the club has previously lost young talents like Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne, who went on to become stars elsewhere. In Palmer’s case, Chelsea may have capitalized on a rare mistake by Manchester City, signing a player whose potential is being fully realized.
As Palmer continues to excel at Stamford Bridge, his performances not only boost his career but also enhance Chelsea’s reputation for shrewd transfer business. The move is already being seen as a masterstroke, with Palmer’s growing influence possibly making City regret letting him go.
