“They are selling him for £100 million next season and it is going to affect their team badly. He has been the focal point of the team especially this season and that’s the reason he was tightly marked in their match against Bournemouth” – This is according to Paul Merson as he believes that Chelsea is very willing to sell their “outstanding” player if a club offered £100 million.

Paul Merson suggests that Chelsea would be open to selling their star player if they receive a massive nine-figure offer.

The club was highly active during the summer transfer window, both in acquiring and offloading players. Additionally, they sent several young talents on loan to gain experience for the future.

Chelsea sold players such as Conor Gallagher, Ian Maatsen, Romelu Lukaku, Omari Hutchinson, and Angelo Gabriel.

Interestingly, in a recent interview with The Evening Standard, Gallagher hinted that he could have fit well with Enzo Maresca’s playing style.

Chelsea must retain Palmer at all costs. If the club even considered selling him, it would likely cause uproar among supporters.

To be fair, Chelsea has already shown their commitment by offering the England international a new contract after just one season. However, only time will tell what happens in the coming years.

Paul Merson believes Chelsea’s ownership would be quick to sell Cole Palmer if his value reaches £100 million due to his continued rapid progress.

The 22-year-old attacker became a key player for Chelsea after an impressive debut season and even signed a contract extension last month, keeping him at the club until 2033.

Merson said, “If [Nicolas] Jackson scores 25 goals next season, they will sell him… If Palmer continues to perform at this level, he will become a £100 million player, and they will sell him. That’s how it works.”

In a recent episode of the BBC’s podcast Planet Premier League, Cesc Fabregas praised Chelsea’s Palmer as “outstanding” for his performances last season.

He has started the 2024/25 season strongly, scoring one goal and providing four assists in five appearances across all competitions.

We’re eager to see the Chelsea attacker, who has been excelling in the No. 10 role, make an impact during Saturday night’s league match against Bournemouth.
