The1905.Club Summary

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.

Key Points

  • Palmer’s contract with Chelsea may include a release clause if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League.
  • Chelsea currently sit sixth in the Premier League, making their qualification uncertain.
  • Manchester United can only reach the Champions League by winning the Europa League.
  • Even if United qualify, Palmer may not see them as an appealing destination due to their current struggles.
  • A move abroad to Real Madrid or Barcelona seems more likely if he does leave Chelsea.
