According to new reports, Real Madrid are closely tracking Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer. The interest is said to be driven by new Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, who is reportedly a huge fan of the English playmaker.
After Palmer’s sensational season, which saw him crowned the Best Player at the FIFA Club World Cup, it is no surprise that one of Europe’s biggest clubs would register their interest. Alonso is believed to see Palmer as a perfect addition to his new project at the Bernabéu.
However, Chelsea have issued a swift and decisive response to the speculation. Reports state that the London club is “not prepared to even entertain conversations” about a possible departure for their star player. They consider Palmer the centerpiece of their team and view him as completely untouchable.
Therefore, while Real Madrid may hold a strong interest, any potential move this summer appears impossible. Chelsea have made their stance clear: Cole Palmer is not for sale at any price.
