Cole Palmer has been one of Chelsea’s standout performers this season, cementing his status as a Premier League star. Despite rising through Manchester City’s academy, the 22-year-old has long been a Manchester United fan.
Pat Nevin suggests the allure of joining United might still be in Palmer’s heart, even though his contract and Chelsea’s bright future make a transfer seem unlikely.
Nevin believes Palmer’s ties to United have faded, and a move is years away. Chelsea fans need not worry, as Palmer’s contract ensures his commitment for the long term.
With a value of over £100 million, Palmer’s worth has only increased, and Nevin predicts there will still be clubs trying to sign him, particularly if Barcelona or Real Madrid are in the market.
Even with these major clubs potentially showing interest, Nevin argues Palmer’s brilliance makes him worth every penny. His numbers compare to legends like De Bruyne and Salah, who didn’t achieve similar feats at his age. Palmer is truly a rare talent.
