While Madrid’s interest is serious, Chelsea is expected to play hardball in negotiations. 

The London club reportedly values Palmer at a million-euro price tag, reflecting his importance to their current and future plans. 

It is also claimed that sources close to Stamford Bridge suggest that the Blues are unwilling to entertain offers unless they are extraordinary.

As speculation swirls, Palmer’s focus remains on delivering results for Chelsea.

With each match, his stock rises, making him an increasingly attractive prospect for Europe’s elite.
