"The England international has been a big hit at Stamford Bridge since his move from Man City in the summer of 2023, scoring 48 goals in 110 games in all competitions. Palmer was Chelsea's hero in last summer's Club World Cup as he scored twice in the final win over Paris Saint-Germain, but it seems there are now some doubts over his long-term future."
"Cole Palmer and Enzo Maresca to be reunited at Manchester City? It seems Palmer could be particularly tempted to return to City if they end up hiring former Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca to replace Pep Guardiola next season. Fabrizio Romano has previously posted on YouTube about City being interested in Maresca, so it could be one to watch, even if there's no final decision yet on Guardiola leaving or staying."
"Many CFC fans will be worried by this news, but they arguably already have a Palmer replacement at the club in the form of Estevao Willian. The talented young Brazilian winger has looked hugely exciting so far this season, and might end up being the better player to build around for the long-term. Palmer only has five goals and zero assists so far this season after an injury-hit campaign, so it might not be the worst time to think about cashing in on him."
Cole Palmer has scored 48 goals in 110 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Man City in summer 2023 and scored twice in the Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain. Palmer reportedly feels unsettled in London and misses friends in Manchester. Manchester City interest could rise if Enzo Maresca becomes manager, given Maresca knows Palmer and would view him as an upgrade on inconsistent attackers. Chelsea have promising youngster Estevao Willian, who has impressed this season. Palmer has five goals and zero assists this campaign after injuries, making a sale a conceivable option.
