British media Sports Bible said on the 19th (Korea time) 'Chelsea revealed a contract clause that had not been known so far. I lost Palmer in an unimaginable deal. Palmer may leave Chelsea depending on the situation, reports said.
Palmer, born in 2002, left Manchester City and joined Chelsea through the summer 2023 transfer window. He scored 22 goals and 11 assists in 33 matches in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season. In recognition of his performance in his team, he also joined the English national soccer team. He made the Euro 2024 stage. Although Chelsea's head coach changed to Enzo Maresca this season, Palmer's performance remained unchanged. He scored 14 goals - 6 assists in 25 league games.

Chelsea ranked sixth with 12 wins, seven draws and six losses (43 points) in 25 league games this season. In the EPL, the top 1 to 4 teams will play in the UCL. Manchester City is ranked fourth with 44 points.
Earlier, Liverpool native Jamie Carragher said "You can think the team project will take two to three years. But the problem is that the best players in the team don't wait. Palmer is one of the EPL's best players. He is an outstanding player who competes for the biggest honor not only in the EPL but also in the UCL. He also scored on the Euro stage. Chelsea are mindful of this."
Journalist Ben Jacobs, who is familiar with the transfer market, said "I understand that none of Chelsea's players have a clause allowing them to leave if they fail to enter the UCL. Palmer is also included."
