Carragher questioned if Chelsea can keep Palmer if they fail to qualify for the Champions League
Cole Palmer’s frustration was evident during Chelsea’s 3-0 loss to Brighton, raising concerns about the club’s ability to retain key players like him if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. Pundit Jamie Carragher warned that top players, including Palmer, may not wait for Chelsea’s long-term project to bear fruit. Palmer, who recently signed a contract until 2033, has shown visible signs of disappointment during the team’s recent struggles, including back-to-back defeats. Carragher’s remarks highlight the tension between Chelsea’s patient rebuilding strategy and the urgency to secure Champions League qualification to retain their star players. Chelsea’s current form, including a lack of attacking options and fan impatience, adds pressure to their situation.
