Reports have revealed the possibility of Manchester United having a potential path to sign Chelsea star Cole Palmer, following talks about the player's nostalgia for his hometown and his desire to return to live in Manchester.

According to sources, any official move by Manchester United will face a significant financial obstacle, as the deal's value may exceed £100 million, a substantial figure. However, the player's salary is not expected to pose a real issue for the club's management.

On the other hand, Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior downplayed these reports, affirming the club's commitment to its player. He said in a press statement: "I have spoken to Cole several times, and he seems very happy here, even extremely happy to be with us, and he is an essential part of our long-term plans."

Cole Palmer is considered one of Chelsea's most prominent stars in recent times, making his departure difficult at the moment, despite ongoing speculations about his future and the interest of top Premier League clubs in his services.
