Cole Palmer, the emerging star of Chelsea and the England national team, has become one of the most talked-about names in European football.
At just 22 years old, his talent and potential have not gone unnoticed, and now, according to Fichajes, Real Madrid have placed him on their radar as a long-term investment.
The versatile attacking midfielder has been key in Chelsea’s attacking setup, establishing himself as an essential player thanks to his goalscoring ability, vision and capability to influence matches.
So far this term, the former Manchester City starlet has 11 goals and six assists from 17 matches in all competitions.

Palmer’s performances in the Premier League have been consistently strong, and his maturity on the field far exceeds expectations for a player of his age.
As such, Los Blancos’ president Florentino Perez and the club’s sporting management highly value Palmer’s footballing qualities, as well as his potential to become a global football icon.
Palmer has also showcased his quality on the international stage, further reinforcing the belief that he is ready to take on greater challenges.
For Real Madrid, Palmer fits perfectly into their project of building a team that blends youth and experience.
However, the price tag on the player would be a significant obstacle. Chelsea are unlikely to sell unless a gigantic transfer fee is involved, fully aware that the England star is one of their most valuable assets and is tied down until 2033.
The future of the player will depend on both Chelsea’s willingness to listen to offers and Real Madrid’s plans to navigate what promises to be a complex transfer.
In the meantime, Palmer continues to shine at Stamford Bridge, with each performance seemingly increasing his market value.
