Despite speculation, Chelsea star Cole Palmer does not have a clause in his contract allowing him to leave if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League, thanks to Todd Boehly’s long-term contract strategy.
With Chelsea currently at risk of missing out on Champions League qualification, concerns have arisen over whether key players, including Cole Palmer, could look for exits in the summer. While reports initially suggested that some stars might consider leaving, journalist Ben Jacobs has confirmed that no Chelsea player, including Palmer, has a contractual clause allowing them to depart if the club fails to qualify for Europe’s top competition.
Palmer signed a seven-year deal in 2023, which Chelsea have already extended due to his strong performances. Todd Boehly’s contract model, which includes performance-based wage increases rather than release clauses, ensures stability in the squad. While Palmer’s form has dipped slightly in recent weeks, he remains vital to Chelsea’s hopes of turning their season around and securing Champions League football next season.
