The attacker is now into his third season at Stamford Bridge having joined from Manchester City in the summer of 2023.

The England international has been nothing short of a revelation, and has scored 52 goals and registered 32 assists in 116 appearances.

Pat Nevin claims Chelsea would sell Cole Palmer for huge profit

Palmer has been plagued by a groin injury this season, which caused him to miss virtually the entire first half of the campaign.

Despite that he’s still scored nine goals in 19 appearances in all competitions, including a hat-trick against Wolves earlier this month.

The Englishman admitted himself he’s not played a game this season where he’s been 100% fit, and his minutes are clearly still being managed.

Palmer was visibly frustrated to be taken off against Burnley, and there were rumours linking him with a move to United.

Liam Rosenior has insisted the 23-year-old is happy, but Nevin has claimed the Blues would sell if the right offer were to arrive.

“I don’t think it comes down to whether Chelsea would sell. They would,” he said as quoted by The Daily Express.

“Would Manchester United want him? They probably would. Would the money be difficult? No, they would probably sort that out.

“Chelsea are a trading club. They bought Cole Palmer and they could sell him at a massive profit, and that’s what they do.”

Chelsea fans wouldn’t be happy

If he were to leave at any point, Nevin rightly states fans would be gutted, but stated it’s all down to what Palmer wants to do.

“The Chelsea fans would be gutted because they adore him, rightly so,” he added.
