In addition to the usual high level of activity in the transfer market, Chelsea FC have secured another important personnel appointment. The Blues have signed Cole Palmer, the most valuable player in the 42-man squad with a market value of €80 million, to a long-term contract. The 22-year-old is now tied until 2033, two years longer than previously.

No other Chelsea professional has such a long working document, but these types of contracts are no exception. Enzo Fernandez even signed for nine and a half years until 2032, when he transferred 121 million in January 2023. Palmer is one of 17 players under contract until at least 2030.

Palmer, for whom Chelsea paid £39m from Manchester City last year, celebrated his breakthrough last season. While he did not go beyond the role of an extra player for the Skyblues, he was directly involved in 33 Premier League goals in 2023/24, a league-wide record. That was 25 goals and 15 assists in 45 games in all competitions.

VfB Stuttgart spent 47.7 million euros on Deniz Undav (28) and Ermedin Demirovic (26) alone, without any possible bonuses – and apparently still want to strengthen their attack. As reported by « Bild », the Swabians are interested in two foreign players: Armando Broja (22) from Chelsea and Chuba Akpom (28) from Ajax. In both cases, VfB is likely to prefer a loan.

With a market value of €22 million, Broja is the more valuable of the two. The Englishman, who plays for the Albanian national team and took part in the European Championships in Germany, is back at Chelsea after his second-half loan at Fulham FC. However, he is among the candidates for sale there. The key thing is that after recovering from a torn cruciate ligament, the Blues and Cottagers have played 776 minutes spread over 27 appearances (two goals/one assist) throughout the season. Broja was also recently traded to VfL Wolfsburg. According to the report, VfB have made contact.

FC Barcelona wants to reproduce by repatriating Dani Olmo, one of the great architects of the victory at the Euro. And Atlético de Madrid is still there.

The Colchoneros are about to pull off a great coup by acquiring a world champion, Julian Alvarez, who left Manchester City. « I have a new challenge »a confirmed Pep Guardiola, ready to play as a player at Atlético.

Madrid will thus be able to line up a new-look attack next season. Alvaro Morata is part of Milan, but it is a solid scorer like Alexander Sorloth, who is there to replace him. By adding Alvarez (who would numerically compensate for the departure of Memphis Depay), and of course Antoine Griezmann, the squad looks great.

Defender Robin Le Normand arrived from Real Sociedad, and Conor Gallagher (Chelsea) came to strengthen the midfield. For Diego Simeone, the aura of what builds a great team to, as often, try to tickle Real and Barça.
