Manchester United could have a chance to sign Cole Palmer from Chelsea this summer, but only if they win the Europa League and Chelsea fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Despite signing a long-term contract with Chelsea until 2033, it has been reported Cole Palmer has a clause allowing him to leave if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League. With Chelsea currently sitting sixth in the Premier League, their qualification hopes remain uncertain. Meanwhile, Manchester United’s only realistic route into next season’s Champions League is by winning the Europa League.
If Chelsea miss out on the Champions League, Palmer may consider his options, but a move to Manchester United remains unlikely. The Red Devils are currently struggling in 15th place, and while they could offer Champions League football through Europa League success, Palmer’s ambitions may lean towards a move to clubs like Real Madrid or Barcelona instead.
