Cole Palmer is becoming increasingly frustrated at Chelsea and would be willing to consider a summer move to Manchester United, according to reports. The former Manchester City star has been tentatively linked with the Red Devils since the start of the 2025/26 season. This season, he has scored nine Premier League goals in 20 appearances for Chelsea, having missed a large chunk of the campaign with a groin injury.
It was reported earlier this year that Palmer was growing tired of life in London and wanted to return to his native Manchester. Now, according to The Sun, the 23-year-old is ‘primed to leave’ Stamford Bridge this summer with United among several clubs keeping tabs on his situation. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also believed to be keen on securing Palmer’s signature.
Palmer is said to be frustrated with a change in Chelsea’s tactics under Liam Rosenior, who was appointed to replace Enzo Maresca back in January.
It’s claimed that he feels the current system has been restricting his influence on proceedings by denying him space on the pitch.
