Chelsea’s struggles this season could have bigger consequences than just missing out on silverware—star midfielder Cole Palmer may have a way out if the Blues fail to secure Champions League football.
According to reports, Palmer’s contract includes a clause that could allow him to leave should Chelsea fail to qualify for Europe’s elite competition. While the exact details of this clause remain unclear, it is believed that Chelsea would at least have to entertain offers for the 22-year-old playmaker.
With Chelsea slipping to sixth in the Premier League following back-to-back defeats to Brighton, pressure is mounting on Enzo Maresca’s side. The club still has 13 league games left, but if they don’t turn things around, Palmer’s future could become a hot topic in the summer transfer window.
Despite a dip in form—he hasn’t scored in over a month—Palmer remains one of Chelsea’s brightest stars. Losing him would be a massive blow, especially given his rise to prominence since joining from Manchester City.
The question now is whether Chelsea can regain momentum and secure a top-four finish—or risk facing an unthinkable summer scenario.
