Palmer, who joined Chelsea in 2023 for £42.5 million, has been valued at £150 million and is attracting interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. The 23‑year‑old has struggled with groin injuries and feels he has been denied space under new manager Liam Rosenior, missing the partnership with Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea's failure to secure Champions League qualification could further pressure the club to sell, but many analysts warn that losing Palmer would damage the team's creative core.
