Man City is desiring to bring Cole Palmer back to Etihad at all costs. They are even ready to turn Cole Palmer into the most expensive signature of world football history.
Just a few weeks ago, Man City was said to be ready to spend up to £ 170 million (200 million euros) to reunite with Cole Palmer, who was shining brightly at Chelsea. However, this proposal was quickly rejected by the Blues, when they confirmed that the 22 -year -old star would leave for less than £ 250 million.
This move temporarily caused negotiations to be deadlock, but Man City's determination has never decreased, especially when they have abundant financial resources. According to Fichajes, the Etihad team is ready to raise the price to £ 200 million, accompanied by £ 50 million of surcharges – true to the number that Chelsea asked to exchange for Cole Palmer.
If this deal is closed, this will be the most expensive contract in football history, surpassing all previous records. The most expensive deal in the world still belongs to Neymar when he left Barca to reach PSG for more than £ 192 million (222 million euros).
Since joining Chelsea from Man City for about 47 million pounds, Palmer has made great steps in his career. At Stamford Bridge, the player born in 2002 not only exploded in form but also became a pillar in the play of the London team.
The 2024/25 season witnessed Cole Palmer scoring 18 goals and creating 11 times after only 31 matches in the Premier League. And yet, he also contributed greatly to help the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup 2025.
With Chelsea, selling Palmer will be a professional decision, but opening up a big financial opportunity. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola believes Palmer will be the perfect piece in the ambition to reclaim the Premier League and conquer the Champions League next season of the Green Man.
