Chelsea fans have erupted in disbelief and amusement after reports surfaced that Manchester City are willing to offer a staggering €150 million to re-sign star winger Cole Palmer.
The 22-year-old England international joined Chelsea in a €50 million move last year, seeking regular game time under Mauricio Pochettino. Palmer's impressive debut season yielded 27 goals and 15 assists, making him arguably the Blues' best player.
News of Manchester City's interest sparked outrage and ridicule among Chelsea supporters. "No, we want £500m with Haaland," joked one fan, while another quipped, "Then let them prepare one billion." Many dismissed the idea as "mission impossible" and labeled City's pursuit as "mad."
Palmer himself reflected on leaving Manchester City, calling it a "gamble" that paid off. "I didn't know what I was getting into, but I decided what I wanted to do myself," he told ITV.
Chelsea fans are adamant that Palmer won't return to his former club. The Blues face Liverpool on October 20, and Palmer's continued form will be crucial.
Manchester City's motivation stems from uncertainty surrounding Kevin De Bruyne's expiring contract. However, Chelsea's determination to retain Palmer makes a potential deal unlikely.
