Cole Palmer Tipped to Join Barcelona if Chelsea Don’t Win Trophies, Warns William Gallas

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas believes Cole Palmer could be tempted to leave the Blues for Barcelona if the team doesn’t start winning trophies soon. Gallas, who played for Chelsea and has been keeping an eye on the team, says that while Palmer is currently doing well, he might not want to stick around if Chelsea can’t deliver silverware.

What’s Happening?

Cole Palmer has been on fire this season, contributing to 11 goals in just seven games. But despite his good form, Gallas thinks Palmer could start looking for the exit door if Chelsea doesn’t improve under manager Enzo Maresca . He even suggested Barcelona could be a good fit for the young midfielder.

Gallas pointed out that watching his fellow England teammates lift trophies while he doesn't could frustrate Palmer. And if Chelsea can’t win anything by the end of the season, the 21-year-old might want a tough conversation with the club about their future goals.

What Gallas Said

Gallas explained: “Palmer might want to leave Chelsea in the future if they can’t prove they can win trophies. And where would he go? Barcelona would be a great move. They already have young stars like Lamine Yamal, and they could also sign Nico Williams, but Palmer could fit in there.”

He added: “Even though Palmer is young, it’s tough seeing your friends win trophies when you’re not. If Chelsea fails to win anything this season, I wouldn’t be surprised if he sits down with the club to ask about their plans.”

The Bigger Picture

Right now, there’s no actual sign that Palmer is looking to leave Chelsea. He signed a long-term contract when he joined from Manchester City, with his current deal running until 2033. If Barcelona ever did want to sign him, it would take a huge offer to convince Chelsea to let him go.

What’s Next for Palmer?

For now, Palmer is focused on international duty with England. He’s expected to return to Chelsea soon and will be part of the squad heading to Anfield next weekend, where they’ll face Liverpool in a big Premier League clash. While Gallas’s prediction might not come true anytime soon, we’ll have to wait until the end of the season to see what happens.

Let’s see if Chelsea can keep up the momentum and give Palmer a reason to stay!
