With Chelsea striving to secure Champions League qualification in the Premier League, Liverpool, under Arne Slot, are waiting in the wings to finalize a deal for the 22-year-old ahead of next season.
After an impressive campaign for Chelsea last year, Palmer may struggle to replicate the 27 goals and 15 assists he achieved previously. However, Slot seems to be a strong admirer of the Three Lions international, especially as the club might lose Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Federico Chiesa this summer, paving the way for a transfer few would have anticipated.
According to teamTALK, Chelsea is expected to demand a fee of approximately £85 million for Palmer. This also hinges on their ability to offload other players, including Trevor Chalobah, Joao Felix, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who are rumored to be on their way out of Stamford Bridge.
Palmer’s future remains a captivating topic, particularly after Ally McCoist from talkSPORT raised questions about whether the Englishman possesses the same drive and ambitions as other top-tier players.
“Cole Palmer’s form has dipped a little bit,” he began. “Will his long-term future be at Chelsea? I would think yes. Has he got the ability to move to another club with the same stature and hopes as Chelsea to continue to win things? Absolutely.”
Palmer is anticipated to remain at Chelsea during the upcoming summer, though a transfer to another club might materialize in the future.
Chelsea will return to Premier League action on Saturday, facing Everton.
