The football world is taking notice as Cole Palmer continues to rise at Chelsea, fast becoming a star on the rise. Palmer has been on fire since moving from Manchester City to Stamford Bridge. His performances have been spectacular, causing fans, pundits, and indeed even the teams he faces to ponder just how Chelsea pulled such a gem out of the bag. Whispers from the transfer market now claim one of the world’s biggest clubs, Real Madrid, reportedly wants the young winger. Letโs be real here: Chelsea is not going to let this star slip through their fingers anytime soon.
Cole Palmer: A Superstar in the Making
A step back, however and we applaud the evolution of Palmer at Chelsea. Some questioned the switch when the 21-year-old first made the step from Manchester City. However, some suspected he may not be able to take the pressure of such a high-profile move to Chelsea. Fast forward a few months, though and those doubters are eating their words. Palmer has become a massive influence on Chelsea and boasts good numbers in the goals and assists columns. The Blues would undoubtedly recognize how the unassuming Frenchman’s consistency and occasional flair on the field have made him an invaluable asset to them.
That style of playโquick, dynamic, and very, very creativeโhas always seen him as a threat to opposing defenses. He has serious raw talent, but growing into that is even more amazing. He is a once-promising young talent who has become a match-winner, a player who can change a game in an instant. So itโs no surprise clubs across Europe are taking note of his rise.
Real Madridโs Interest: Is There a Chance?
Fichajes reports that Palmer is one of the names being watched by Real Madrid. Chelsea winger Palmer is reportedly in the sights of the Spanish giants, with their president, Florentino Perez, said to have admired his talent. Palmer, however, has come to be an important player for Chelsea, and the club isnโt going to sell him anytime soon.
As new management writes a different chapter at Chelsea, Palmer is central to the visionโand a stepping stone to the promise of the future. Chelsea has all the cards when it comes to the negotiations, and with a long-term contract already in place, thereโs no prospect of their player going elsewhere any time soon. Simply put: Palmer certainly isnโt going anywhere, as Real Madrid can dream all they want, but the Blues arenโt going to sell him unless they decide itโs worth cashing in, and that seems highly improbable right now.
Fans React: “He’s Ours, Not Yours!”
Real Madrid’s interest in Palmer has made Chelsea fans react quite negatively to the news of its supposed interest in the player. The hashtag #KeepColePalmer has been trending much faster on social media than you can say transfer window. And the Blues faithful are adamant that the young winger is an asset to the future at Stamford Bridge.
A fan on Twitter said, “Why would we ever sell Cole Palmer?” Some of Real Madridโs starting XI are worse than he is. Letโs keep him, and letโs build around him!โ “Cole Palmer to Real Madrid?’ another chimed in. Not happening. They know who runs this placeโthey know we got him locked down for the long haul, so itโs time for the ‘big clubs’ to know that!โ
Chelsea fans are in good spirits; who can blame them? Fans do become protective of a player’s stock rising to such degrees. Palmer has been successful with Chelsea supporters, and with the fans keen to see him go even further when leading at Stamford Bridge.
