Palmer wants to leave Chelsea.

Cole Palmer's future at Chelsea is attracting attention with reports emerging that the 23-year-old midfielder plans to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer 2026 transfer window.

Palmer wants to find a new club.

According to British media, Palmer no longer feels comfortable in London. Despite being hampered by injuries this season, Palmer still made his mark with 9 goals in 20 Premier League appearances. However, his inconsistent form puts him at risk of facing fierce competition from Phil Foden for a place in the England squad for the 2026 World Cup.

In this context, Manchester United has emerged as a notable destination. English media reports suggest that the "Red Devils" are closely monitoring Palmer's situation and are ready to enter the race if the opportunity arises. This transfer becomes even more interesting considering Palmer grew up in the Manchester City academy but has been a Manchester United fan since childhood.

In addition, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also reportedly considering signing this attacking midfielder. If he joins Real Madrid, Palmer could play alongside English stars like Jude Bellingham or Trent Alexander-Arnold, while Bayern would continue their trend of scouting from the Premier League after high-profile signings like Harry Kane and Michael Olise.

However, the biggest obstacle lies in the transfer fee. Palmer recently signed a nine-year contract with Chelsea, expiring in the summer of 2024, and the London club is reportedly valuing him at nearly £150 million. This will be a difficult figure for any club to meet, especially given that MU still has many positions that need rebuilding.

The 2026 summer transfer market therefore promises to be very hot with Palmer's name involved.
