Cole Pale's move to Chelsea has been nothing more than a success not mitigated, but for Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes, the former Man City star may have already surpassed her new club.
Palmer joined the blues at the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign, and became the best and most important players of the West London Side with 39 goals and 21 assists in 78 games.
His way has even led him to the installation of England, memorably leaving the bank to score a surprising draw in the European championship of 2024, which the three lions lost 2-1.
However, so dramatic has been his rise of a relative anonymity to one of the main strikers of the game, which some experts believe that perhaps it could be better served when looking to get away from Chelsea.
'I commented on Brighton vs Chelsea in the league a month ago. I am a great admirer of Cole Palmer, and played two passes from the beginning, but the longer the game passed, the frustration with his teammates could be seen, “Carragher said, speaking in the debate of the fans of the overlap, they brought him Bet of heaven.
'He reminded me of Stevie (Gerrard) in Liverpool sometimes, because it was much better than everyone else and felt frustrated. Stevie was a local player, but he was never going to leave, while Cole Palmer is not.
Cole Palmer has become one of the main strikers of the game after prospering in Chelsea
Jamie Carragher has affirmed that Palmer might seek “leave” from Chelsea already
Although he only joined Manchester City in 2023, Palmer is under contract until 2033
'This is when I return to those eight -year contracts, and if they are good for the club and the players.
“If you are Cole Palmer, who has six or seven years left in his deal, and should be playing for a team that seeks to win the Champions League, how does it go?”
Although blues are one of the Giants of the Premier League in the last two decades in terms of cutlery, they are struggling to find success under Todd Boehly and Clearlake capital, fighting for a place in the Champions League in this term.
They can win the European Conference League, and in fact they are favorites to do so, but it is not the border in which the Enzo Maresca team really wants to compete.
The key to making that jump is naturally attracting better players, although Chelsea's transfer has focused on signing young stars to nurture in the main stars over the years.
As such, Palmer is in a position in which he is very evidently the best player of the club, and Scholes argued that the striker might want to look for another challenge.
'I have felt for a time that for Cole Pale, has almost been too easy for him to play in that Chelsea team. He knows that he will play every week and will be the best player.
“I think he needs more challenging, and I don't have the impression that they (Chelsea) are desperate to win something.”
Palmer was out of the 1-0 defeat by Arsenal after concerns about his physical condition arose
Paul Scholes added that Palmer needs to “challenge more” and things have been “too easy”
Enzo Maresca has demonstrated progress as the new Chief of Chelsea this term, but the qualification of the Champions League could still be lost
As noted, Palmer has a long contract in Stamford Bridge, and could remain in the club until 2033 after writing an extension earlier this season.
Therefore, if the player feels that his development is being hindered that he could fight to find a route with so much time that he is left in his treatment.
Palmer was left out of his side by Arsenal on the weekend after doubts arose about his physical condition.
Since then, it has been replaced in the England team by Nottingham Forest Morgan Gibbs-White, a player who many felt that it should have been included from the beginning by Thomas Tuchel.
