Cole Palmer may leave the club this summer. What's going on?

Cole Palmer joined Chelsea in the summer of 2023 and has been in exceptional form, but there are already reports suggesting he could leave the club in 2025.

Details: According to TeamTalk, if Chelsea fails to qualify for the Champions League next season, they may be forced to sell several key players. It is believed that Palmer's contract includes a clause allowing him to leave if the club does not secure Champions League football.

Recently, Chelsea suffered back-to-back defeats against Brighton—1-2 in the FA Cup and 0-3 in the Premier League—raising speculation about the future of head coach Enzo Maresca.

However, Chelsea’s management has no plans to sack Maresca, as they remain confident that the Italian is the right man for the job.

Reminder: Chelsea is reportedly preparing a significant offer for Japan international Kaoru Mitoma, with the transfer fee expected to be around €90 million, which would make him the most expensive Japanese footballer in history.
