Journalist Mark Ogden has claimed that a player Manchester City sold last year, Cole Palmer, is now worth £100m, double the fee they received for him. Palmer was transferred to Chelsea for £42.5m and has had a successful debut season, scoring 25 goals and delivering 13 assists in 42 appearances. Despite his strong performances, Chelsea’s current position in the league has raised questions about whether Palmer may seek a move to a club that can offer Champions League football.

Ogden speculated on a potential move for Palmer this summer, suggesting that Chelsea may be tempted by a £100m bid for the talented winger. With other top European players like Rodri and Gavi valued similarly, Palmer’s market worth has been estimated at €100m (£85m). Despite the success of his debut season at Chelsea, the idea that a bigger club could provide Palmer with the platform he desires for his talent has been raised, with Ogden suggesting that City may have undersold him in hindsight.

Looking back, it is possible that Manchester City could have received more for Cole Palmer when they sold him to Chelsea last year. The winger’s impressive form and potential for growth have led to speculation about his future at Chelsea, with questions raised about whether he may seek a move to a club that can offer Champions League football. Ogden’s comments have sparked discussion about Palmer’s value and potential transfer moves in the upcoming summer window.
