Why Man United May Not Sign Cole Palmer Despite Rumours
- •Reports suggest Manchester United is interested in signing Cole Palmer from Chelsea due to his alleged 'homesickness' and desire to return to the northwest.
- •Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior dismissed these rumours, stating Palmer is happy at the club and that such reports are attempts to unsettle players.
- •Palmer, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City for €47 million in 2023, has a contract until 2033, extended after his Premier League Young Player of the Season award.
- •Transfermarkt values Palmer at €120 million, but Chelsea could demand over $150 million given his long contract, making a transfer financially challenging for Man United.
- •Sky Sports correspondent Kaveh Solhekol indicates Chelsea has no intention of selling Palmer, viewing him as a valuable asset, and Man United's new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is focused on cutting expenses, making a record-breaking transfer unlikely.
Why It Matters: Despite strong rumours, Cole Palmer's high cost and Chelsea's unwillingness make a Man United transfer unlikely.
