Manchester United will not be signing Cole Palmer next summer, as this blockbuster transfer is beyond the club's financial capabilities.
Sources close to Cole Palmer reveal that the 22-year-old midfielder is feeling uncomfortable in London and has expressed his desire to return to Manchester United.
However, there are many obstacles to the deal becoming a reality. First, the transfer fee will certainly not be less than £100 million.
Furthermore, Chelsea have no intention of selling their most valuable player. Cole Palmer's current contract with The Blues runs until 2023.
Most recently, manager Liam Rosenior stated: "The idea of Cole Palmer leaving is unrealistic. The rumors came out of nowhere and are completely untrustworthy."
Cole is very happy at Chelsea. It's hard to stop the rumors, and some are completely untrue. There's no point in discussing it."
As for MU, the bosses at Old Trafford are not prioritizing signing more attacking midfielders at the moment, after spending over £200 million on Mbeumo, Cunha, and Sesko last summer.
Manchester United's budget for next summer prioritizes signing two more quality central midfielders, following Casemiro's departure, with four names on their radar: Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, and Alex Scott.
Therefore, Cole Palmer is an unlikely target for Man United in the near future.
