The Pride of London cover the rather interesting details surrounding Cole Palmer’s transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea as they are revealed. The midfield starlet has now also spoken of his personal reasons for leaving the Citizens. In addition to that, PoL discuss Trevoh Chalobah.
Palmer’s demand to Pep Guardiola for further playing time with City appears to have been his demise at Etihad Stadium. The Spaniard in charge at MCFC refused to guarantee the attack-minded footballer extra minutes, ultimately resulting in an exit.
Now the player has spoken on the situation himself. He says competing for a place was never an issue. Although, he admits merely wanting to play. Departing Manchester was a very difficult decision, states Palmer, who says it is pretty much all he knows. But he is ready to be industrious at CFC.
The Pride of London talk Trevoh Chalobah, with the centreback’s Chelsea future once again in doubt
A move to Bayern Munich would have been potentially game-changing for Chalobah’s career. The German champions – amazingly, the perennial triumph was only gained by a goal difference margin over Borussia Dortmund in the 2022/33 campaign – wanted to sign the versatile defender during the active summer transfer window.
However, the west Londoners priced out the team from Germany thanks to a £50 million valuation. Bayern are expected to return for Chalobah in January; I am sure a much more reasonable price can be agreed upon in the new year.
Unfortunately for the 24-year-old, this leaves him in limbo at Stamford Bridge. He could even be in footballing exile for a season, according to this story. The player doesn’t consider featuring regularly a likely scenario, either; Chalobah is currently injured with a hamstring problem. He is said to desire a switch to a club with similar standing to the Blues, whatever that is these days.
