Manchester City are reportedly ready to pay £147 million to re-sign Cole Palmer from Chelsea, according to multiple sources this week.
Palmer left City for Chelsea in September 2023, in a move worth £42.5 million that’s now being called a brilliant decision.
The young midfielder has since exploded in form, becoming one of Chelsea’s most vital players and a regular England international.
Palmer’s standout moment came in the Club World Cup final, where he scored twice against PSG to seal Chelsea’s stunning victory.
His performance caught the eyes of top European clubs, including Real Madrid and PSG, who are reportedly preparing huge bids.

PSG, in particular, are said to be crafting a package over £200 million to secure Palmer’s services this summer.
Real Madrid also had Palmer on their radar before his World Cup heroics, showing strong interest in the young Englishman.

Former coach Jody Morris has praised Palmer’s maturity and technical brilliance, calling him a “superstar” Chelsea must fight hard to keep.
With Palmer’s value skyrocketing, Chelsea now face a major battle to hold on to their brightest emerging talent.
