Revealed: Chelsea's plan to keep Cole Palmer for over a decade as Blues set to give star player wage increases

Premier League

Chelsea

Crystal Palace

<p>According to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/07/18/chelsea-cole-palmer-wage-rises-decade/" target="_blank">The Telegraph</a>, Chelsea will reward Palmer for his superb form by steadily increasing his £80,000 a week wages to reflect his importance and the quality of his performances. However, this will be done privately, with the Blues optimistic he can build on his stunning form from last season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Palmer swapped Manchester City for Chelsea in a £42.5 million ($54m<span>) deal last summer and scored a whopping 25 goals and 15 assists in all competitions. He was one of the Blues' few success stories last term and the fact he is on a contract until 2030 puts them in a strong position to keep onto his services.</span></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The report adds that England international Palmer is on just over a quarter of what team-mate Raheem Sterling earns at Stamford Bridge. The 22-year-old featured a lot more regularly than the former City man last term, too.</p>

<p>Palmer played a big role in England reaching the final of Euro 2024 and scored in their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-player-ratings-vs-spain-euro-2024-final-harry-kane-cole-palmer/bltf79b9eda4fd4ff8b" target="_blank">2-1 defeat to tournament winners Spain</a> last week. Now, he is off on his summer holidays and will not head with the Chelsea squad to the United States next week for their pre-season tour - so that he can rest.</p>
