Steve Kay<\/a><\/p>\n Updated: 9 Jan 2026 21:36 GMT Manchester United<\/a> are ready to make a blockbuster move for Chelsea<\/a>\u2019s Cole Palmer<\/a>, with the Stamford Bridge club open to selling the England international star, FootballTransfers can exclusively reveal.<\/p>\n Article continues under the video<\/p>\n Multiple sources have confirmed that the Blues are considering cashing in on Palmer, who arrived on a \u20ac47 million move from Manchester City in the summer of 2023 and has developed into one of the world\u2019s top attacking midfield players.<\/p>\n United have a long-standing admiration of Palmer and have already held behind-the-scenes talks about putting together a bid for the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n Uncertainty continues to dog the future of Man Utd star Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, and Palmer would arrive at Old Trafford as a direct replacement for the Portuguese.<\/p>\n Bruno has been heavily linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League on multiple occasions in the past, and with a big supporter in the form of Ruben Amorim having now departed Old Trafford, there is fresh uncertainty over what the long-term future holds for the Man Utd captain.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Palmer appears to be open to the idea of leaving Chelsea, according to a source close to the London club.<\/p>\n Details of what United are willing to offer for Palmer have not yet emerged, while there is also uncertainty over what sort of money Chelsea would require to be tempted into a sale.<\/p>\n Palmer boasts an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of \u20ac99.7 million, which suggests that any deal that is made will have to be above the \u20ac100m mark and would likely even break Man Utd\u2019s club record, which remains Paul Pogba\u2019s 2016 move from Juventus for \u20ac105m.<\/p>\n Such a deal would be a major statement of intent from a Manchester United team that has lost its way in recent years.<\/p>\n More of a priority for the Red Devils immediately will be finding a long-term replacement for the sacked Amorim, but the promise of signing players such as Palmer certainly makes the role significantly more attractive.<\/p>\n Related stories:<\/p>\n EXCLUSIVE: Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s Man Utd dream revealed<\/a><\/p>\n Man Utd make \u20ac70m bid for Amad Diallo\u2019s best friend<\/a><\/p>\n The FootballTransfers app <\/p>\n Check out FootballTransfers’ new app for all of football’s big storylines, transfer rumours and exclusive news in one convenient place directly on your mobile device.<\/p>\n The FootballTransfers app is available on Google Play and in the Apple App Store.
