Manchester City are said to have already made a huge offer for their former star Cole Palmer, but that it was far from enough for Chelsea who are demanding an unbearable £250 million (€285 million). Neymar’s £222m transfer from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2018 remains alone at the top of the transfer list.
Manchester City should be ready to break all football records.

The fight to bring back Cole Palmer is stronger than ever. A few years ago, Manchester City let this young player go for £45 million when he moved to Chelsea. Now City want to bring him back and are willing to make a huge effort to achieve that.
Manchester City made an initial offer of £170 million for Palmer, but Chelsea did not accept. Now the London club are demanding much more: £250 million. That amount is very high, and if accepted, it will be the most expensive transfer in football history.
Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, is determined to get Palmer in his team. He believes Palmer is a talented player with the ability to amplify the team’s attack. Therefore, Manchester City’s board is willing to pay a significant sum to bring him back.
Cole Palmer, on the verge of becoming the most expensive signing in history
While £250 million may sound like a lot of money, it is not uncommon nowadays for clubs to pay large sums of money for promising young talent. Palmer is only 23 years old and has shown great potential at Chelsea. This has driven his price up significantly, with high expectations for his future.
Chelsea, for their part, are aware that they have a key player and want to maximize the revenue from this sale. That is why they demand so much money and are not willing to accept low offers. For them, this deal will be a lucrative business opportunity.
If Manchester City agree to pay this sum, they will not only break financial records, but also deal a hard blow to their rivals. Moreover, it will show their strong commitment to developing young talents to remain one of the top clubs.
Now it remains to be seen if City accept or if Chelsea will stick to their price. One thing is for sure: this summer, Cole Palmer is one of the most prominent names, and the story is far from over.
