Disillusioned Cole Palmer considers Chelsea exit | OneFootball

Chelsea star Cole Palmer is reportedly disillusioned and considering exiting Stamford Bridge this summer, according to The Sun.

The Chelsea playmaker is reportedly unhappy with Liam Rosenior’s new tactics, which he feels have denied him space on the pitch.

The report also claims that Palmer misses playing with Nicolas Jackson, with whom he formed a lethal connection on the pitch.

Palmer has suffered a massive dip in form this season due to persistent groin injuries, and unsurprisingly, Chelsea have struggled too, with their talisman not delivering.

The Blues now reportedly need to be worried about losing Palmer, who has been sensational since he joined the West London outfit in 2023 for £42.5 million.

Per the report, Chelsea value him at £150 million, and Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are all showing interest in his services.

If Chelsea were to miss out on UEFA Champions League football, which they are on course to do, it will damage their chances of hanging onto the 23-year-old.

However, allowing Palmer to leave this summer will be an act of sheer negligence by Chelsea.

As clueless as their sporting directors have been, they are surely not that thoughtless.

In a squad riddled with inconsistency, bloated spending, and questionable squad-building, he has been the one clear success story.

He is their most reliable match-winner and creative hub.

Players of his profile, age, and output are not replaceable, no matter how inflated the transfer fee may look on paper.

Chelsea’s project has already been defined by churn and instability, and cashing in on their best player will only reinforce the chaos.

It will send the wrong message internally and externally that no one is untouchable, even those delivering at the highest level.

More importantly, it is a footballing decision devoid of logic.

You build around Palmer, not without him. Selling him for any price will be incredibly stupid, and one Chelsea might regret for years to come.
