tvOnenews.com – Salary race: Bruno Fernandes’ salary at MU vs. Cole Palmer’s salary at Chelsea, who is the highest? Read more below.
The summer transfer market has heated up the atmosphere at Old Trafford again. Manchester United is now being linked with a big name from West London, Cole Palmer, who is rumored to be on the list of potential replacements for Bruno Fernandes.
This issue arose due to uncertainty regarding the future of the MU captain, who has recently been widely said to have received great temptation from Saudi Arabia.
This rumor does not stand alone. Manchester United is indeed preparing to overhaul its squad, especially in the midfield and creative sector.
If Bruno Fernandes really leaves, MU needs a playmaker with elite quality to maintain the rhythm of the game. Cole Palmer, who is at the peak of his productive age, is considered suitable as the new face of the Red Devils’ long-term project in the summer transfer market.
Cole Palmer and the Issue of Leaving Chelsea
Cole Palmer is currently one of Chelsea’s most important assets. Since being recruited from Manchester City, he has developed into a major differentiator thanks to his consistent goal and assist contributions.
However, this season has not gone completely smoothly. Fitness problems meant Palmer only made 12 appearances in the Premier League, far from ideal for a key attacking player.
According to The Express report, this season has the potential to be Palmer’s last season with Chelsea. The 24 year old player is reportedly starting to consider leaving West London at the end of the season.
It’s not just football, Palmer is said to feel uncomfortable with life in London.
In the report, Palmer is said to not fully enjoy the atmosphere of the British capital which is considered not to suit his personality.
It is even reported that he misses the atmosphere of the city of Manchester, where he spent the early days of his professional career.
This longing made Palmer ask his agent to establish communication with clubs from Manchester and Manchester United became the main goal.
MU Transfer Market and the Big Hole in the Midfield
On the other hand, Manchester United is also facing the possibility of losing Bruno Fernandes. The Red Devils captain reportedly received a fantastic offer from Saudi Arabia, which puts a big question mark over his future at Old Trafford.
