In a sensational twist just hours after Chelsea narrowly booked their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League final, star man Cole Palmer has reportedly threatened to leave the club โ and his message is crystal clear.
The England international, who has been Chelseaโs standout performer this season, was left furious and visibly shaken in the aftermath of the dramatic semi-final second leg. While Chelsea scraped through, sources close to the dressing room have revealed that Palmer blasted one of his teammates in a fiery rant, accusing him of being a liability and nearly costing the team their European dream.
โIf he stays, Iโm gone. Iโll pack my bags and go to Saudi Arabia, I swear to God. Heโs a disgrace โ to this team, to this badge, to everything weโre fighting for,โ Palmer reportedly said in a post-match bust-up.
While no name has been officially confirmed by the club, fans on social media have been quick to point fingers at goalkeeper ฤorฤe Petroviฤ, whose blunder in the 76th minute almost allowed the opposition to grab a crucial away goal. It took a last-ditch goal-line clearance and VAR drama to keep Chelseaโs hopes alive.
Palmer, who has carried Chelsea on his back with 26 goals and 11 assists this season, has demanded โserious decisionsโ from the board ahead of the summer.
โYou canโt build a winning team with passengers. Weโre not a charity, this is Chelsea Football Club!โ Palmer was overheard saying.
Chelsea fans are now in turmoil, with #BackPalmer and #OutNow trending on X as pressure mounts on the club hierarchy to act decisively.
Will Chelsea bow to their star manโs ultimatum, or will they risk losing their brightest talent to the Saudi Pro League? The summer just got a lot hotter at Stamford Bridge.๐ฅ
