Cole Palmer, the prodigious 21-year-old who has been making waves in the Etihad Stadium, is set to take a new path as he looks likely to depart Manchester City on a Premier League loan. An impeccable source divulged that the young sensation’s temporary exit is perceived as “suiting all parties” as the sterling talent continues to thrive.
As reported by Football Insider, several clubs have shown keen interest in both loan and permanent deals for the Manchester City’s gem. Particularly, Brighton – a club that has secured its place in the Europa League for the 2023-24 season – has been rumoured to have an eye on this young prodigy. However, Manchester City seems unyielding in their resolve to retain Palmer. The club and manager Pep Guardiola hold him in high regard, and it is understood that they will not entertain any offer for a permanent transfer.
Being an England Under-21 international, Cole Palmer is presently representing his nation at the Under-21 European Championships in Romania and Georgia. His versatility has been a boon for Guardiola; as an academy graduate, Palmer can effortlessly manoeuvre across both flanks and fits perfectly in an attacking midfield role.
Despite amassing a mere 850 minutes in Manchester City’s treble-winning campaign, with seven starts, Palmer has left an indelible mark. Across all competitions, he boasts 25 appearances, scoring once and assisting another.
With a reported weekly wage of £20,000 at the Etihad, Palmer’s loan is notably being sanctioned despite speculation surrounding Bernardo Silva’s potential departure this summer.
Manchester City fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on Cole Palmer’s journey, eager to see how this star-in-the-making continues to flourish.
