Cole Palmer has successfully completed his medical ahead of a high-profile move to Liverpool, according to Fabrizio Romano. The final paperwork between Chelsea and Liverpool is nearly done, and once Palmer’s side wraps up the necessary formalities, an official announcement is expected.
Liverpool appear poised to pull off a significant transfer by landing the Chelsea forward, who has become a central figure at Stamford Bridge following his unexpected move from Manchester City in 2023. Currently listed at 20/1 odds for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, Palmer’s stock continues to rise.
While Chelsea remain in the hunt for a Champions League spot, Liverpool—under new manager Arne Slot—have been working discreetly to secure Palmer’s signature for the upcoming season. Though unlikely to replicate his remarkable 27-goal, 15-assist campaign from last year, Palmer’s continued brilliance has made him a top target for Slot, particularly with potential summer departures looming for Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, and Federico Chiesa.
According to teamTALK, Chelsea are seeking a fee in the region of £85 million for the 22-year-old. The deal could hinge on Chelsea’s ability to offload other squad members, such as Trevoh Chalobah, João Félix, and Kepa Arrizabalaga—all of whom are expected to depart during the summer window.
