The management of Manchester City is planning to carry out one of the largest transfers in history to bring back their former midfielder Cole Palmer to the team, reports fichajes.net. The club is most likely preparing to offer a sum close to 300 million euros (250 million pounds sterling) for Palmer.
It is known that several years ago, the "Citizens" sold Palmer to London’s Chelsea for 45 million pounds. The player, who left without much noise, has recently distinguished himself with a bright game and productive actions as part of the "Blues". Palmer became an important figure for Chelsea, scoring 18 goals and providing 14 assists for the team. The Transfermarkt portal, which highly values his performance, currently estimates his market value at 120 million euros.
According to sources, Manchester City initially made an offer of 170 million pounds, but this proposal was rejected by Chelsea. The London club is now demanding 250 million pounds sterling for Palmer, which is approximately 297 million euros. If this deal goes through, it will be among the biggest transfers in football history.
Another point that has drawn much attention is the special desire of Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola to bring Palmer back to the team. According to the coach, Palmer is capable of further strengthening the current squad and becoming an important figure for the club in the future.
Thus, the London club is currently aiming to get the maximum profit for the player. Manchester City is clearly showing its readiness to allocate a record amount to bring back their former footballer. This transfer remains one of the biggest intrigues of the summer market, and fans are keenly watching how Palmer's fate will be decided.
