Palmer’s Chelsea stay hinges on Ballon d’Or hopes
Cole Palmer has quickly become a key player at Chelsea. Despite talk of Manchester City wanting him back, there’s no sign the Blues will let him go anytime soon. The 23-year-old is under contract until 2033 and is happy at the club.
Chelsea sees Palmer as one of their most important players, especially after his standout performances. He scored two goals and provided an assist in the Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain, which helped the Blues win the title.
In his first season, he scored 20 goals, won two trophies, and became a fan favourite. However, he dreams of winning the Ballon d’Or, and to do that, he hopes to help Chelsea win the Premier League and Champions League. If the club can’t compete for those top titles, he may consider moving in the future.
Although Manchester City are already title contenders, Palmer reportedly has no interest in going back, as he felt the club didn’t give him enough chances. Now, he enjoys proving himself at Chelsea.
A move to a top European club like Real Madrid or Barcelona could tempt him someday, but for now, Chelsea is determined to keep their star and help him reach the top.
