Chelsea try to play down Palmer to United speculation
- On Jan 27, 2026, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior dismissed reports linking Cole Palmer with Manchester United and said Palmer is happy and crucial to Chelsea’s long-term plans.
- Reports suggested Cole Palmer was unsettled at Stamford Bridge, reportedly homesick and linked to Manchester United and Al-Hilal, despite signing a seven-year deal in September 2023.
- Prior to their 3-1 victory on Sunday, Liam Rosenior rested Cole Palmer for the Crystal Palace match and then included him in the travelling squad to Italy for the Napoli tie, rejecting transfer talk and calling Palmer untouchable.
- Chelsea's stance that Palmer is untouchable implies January moves will be limited and complicate Manchester United's chances, while Palmer travelling to Italy preserved his availability for the Napoli match.
- Across his first two seasons at Stamford Bridge, Cole Palmer netted 43 goals and 29 assists in 97 outings, while some reports suggested a �26m fee could force a January deal.
