Real Madrid are considering an ambitious transfer move Chelsea star Cole Palmer after his sensational form in the Premier League.
The England international has 11 goals and six assists in 15 Premier League games so far this season, continuing the world-class form he showed last season.
Palmer looks like a perfect fit for this Real Madrid squad as they look to build around some of the best young players in the world such as Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius Junior and Endrick.
according to filesLos Blancos boss Florentino Perez rates Palmer highly and is interested in a potential deal, although it remains to be seen whether there is a realistic price the Blues will negotiate for.
Chelsea star says YES to shock transfer!
Chelsea certainly has to be build around Palmer for the long term if they want to return to their best as a force in English and European football again.
Chelsea have sometimes lost star names to Real Madrid…
It remains to be seen whether CFC will let Palmer go soon as he is tied to a long-term contract, but we have seen star names being sold to Madrid in the past.
Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard notably swapped Stamford Bridge for the Bernabeu in recent years, so there may be a chance we could see Palmer make a similar move.
One thing is for sure: Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca will need to build on his strong start in west London if he is to convince someone like Palmer to spend his prime years at the club.
For now, Chelsea’s project has focused on building for the future, but Maresca has been slightly ahead of schedule as he has this team closing in on Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
It will be vital that Chelsea win major trophies again soon, or a potential Ballon d’Or winner like Palmer will no doubt be tempted to try his luck at Real Madrid or another major European giant.
