It’s about bringing back the talent of a player who already knows the club and who has matured into a global star.
Manchester City and Maresca’s demand for Cole Palmer
The Italian coach has been very clear to the board in setting his terms for signing the contract that will link him to the English champions. Maresca believes that the missing piece in the post-Guardiola system is Cole Palmer, the young talent who already shone under his previous leadership. For the coach, the attacking midfielder is not just a reinforcement, but the central axis around which he intends to build his new football proposal in Manchester.
Manchester City are already aware of these intentions and are seriously considering the financial arrangement that will be required to negotiate a return for their own academy player. It’s no secret that the relationship between the coach and the player was the driving force behind the recent success in London before the Italian’s departure.’

Cole Palmer’s maturation after winning the Club World Cup
The development of this attacker has been meteoric since leaving City, and he has reached levels of performance that few analysts could predict at first. Under Maresca’s leadership, the player was the main architect of the titles Chelsea won in the Conference League and the Club World Cup. That winning experience and previous knowledge of the game system make his adaptation to Manchester City virtually immediate and risk-free.
The Italian strategist aims to replicate the winning formula by leveraging the vision and goalscoring flair the left-footed player has perfected over the past year. It would be a luxury boost for a team that needs to renew its offensive ideas in light of a potential shift in technical leadership.
Cole Palmer left Manchester City almost three years ago. – It will cost, the attacking midfielder is worth between 120 and 130 million euros according to Transfermarkt.
The offensive future of the Light Blues
Having a player of this caliber would allow the British team to maintain its status as the favorite in all continental competitions next season. Manchester City’s management understands that the club’s identity lies in bringing back talent who understands the philosophy of play from the ground up.
Palmer’s impact on the international market has increased his market value, but his strategic importance justifies any investment the club makes. Maresca knows that in order to convince the demanding fans at the Etihad, he must present a solid project that combines youth, technical quality and a hunger for titles. The harmony between the coach and the English player is complete, which would facilitate personal negotiations if the transfer is finalized.
The completion of this deal would mark a turning point in the club’s sports planning after a golden decade under Guardiola’s leadership. Taking on the challenge of managing Manchester City means making bold decisions and betting on figures who have already proven themselves crucial at critical moments.
If Enzo Maresca finally takes the helm, Cole Palmer’s return will be the first big move in a summer that promises to be historic. Fans are eagerly awaiting official news as the transfer market heats up with this potential homecoming. The team’s fate seems to be linked to the managers’ ability to meet the demands of a coach who knows the secrets of success.
