Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer, who has excelled since his £40m move from Manchester City in 2023, is regarded as one of the best players in the world over the past year. While he remains committed to Chelsea, Champions League winner Dietmar Hamann suggests Palmer could be tempted by European giants Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the future if the Blues fail to deliver major trophies. Hamann believes the next 12 months will be pivotal in shaping Palmer's long-term ambitions, particularly as Chelsea work to regain consistent top-tier success.
