Enzo Maresca has confirmed that Chelsea will speak with Cole Palmer about his future should the club fail to qualify for the Champions League, though he insists Palmer remains committed to the team for now.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has stated that the club will assess Cole Palmer’s happiness at the end of the season if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. Chelsea currently sit seventh in the Premier League, making their European hopes uncertain. Despite concerns that Palmer may want to leave for a club in the competition, Maresca believes the 22-year-old is fully focused on helping Chelsea progress. Palmer, who signed a long-term contract extension until 2033, has been crucial to the team’s attack, contributing to 42% of Chelsea’s league goals this season.
However, his recent dip in form has coincided with Chelsea’s struggles, as teams have adjusted their tactics to neutralise his influence. Maresca remains confident in his playing philosophy and believes Chelsea will soon return to winning ways.
