Cole Palmer is open to joining Manchester United after becoming ‘disillusioned’ at Chelsea, in response to reports.
The 23-year-old is currently in his third season at Stamford Bridge following his £42.5 million move from Manchester City in 2023.
Palmer hit the bottom running at Chelsea with 38 goals in his first two seasons however the midfielder has struggled for form this season because of injury.
In line with The Sun, Palmer is alleged to be ‘frustrated’ by the tactical changes this season and is unhappy with the departure of Nicolas Jackson, who joined Bayern Munich on loan last summer.
The report adds that Palmer can be open to joining Manchester United, his boyhood club, this summer but they’re prioritising moves for not less than one recent central midfielder and a left-back.
Chelsea, meanwhile, consider Palmer as one in all their ‘untouchable’ players and remain in a robust negotiating position because the England international still has seven years left to run on his contract.
