Chelsea ready big-money Cole Palmer deal as talks get underway – sources
Chelsea are ready to give Cole Palmer a big-money new contract just six months into his time at the club, sources have told Football Insider.
The Blues are preparing talks with the 21-year-old over a potential new agreement.
Palmer is not currently near the highest-paid bracket of players at Stamford Bridge and it is believed he will be given a significant pay rise if a new deal is signed.
According to FBRef, the England international currently earns a weekly wage of £75,000.
He signed a contract running until June 2030 after leaving Man City for a reported fee of £42.5million after add-ons last summer (2023).
It is believed Chelsea are looking to keep Palmer happy by reflecting his importance to the side with bumper new terms.
