Jamie Carragher has warned Chelsea to be wary of Cole Palmer, with the talented playmaker attracting interest from several clubs and potentially leaving the club if the team fails to achieve their targets.
The Blues still have a Champions League spot next season and a Europa Conference League triumph, having reached the semi-finals.
Enzo Maresca’s side face Liverpool in a big match on Sunday, ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี. which will be no easy task even though Arne Slott’s side have already won the trophy.
Carragher believes that if Chelsea continue to perform poorly they could face the risk of losing their star man Palmer.
“In the first half of this season, Palmer was neck and neck with Mohamed Salah as the best player in the league. His numbers have dropped in the last couple of months, but he is still creating chances.
“There was a moment during Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion in February which must have set off alarm bells in the Stamford Bridge boardroom. Palmer’s demeanour was one of frustration.
“I would be surprised if no one argued that Palmer should be on Liverpool’s radar,” Carragher said.
“Is it unlikely? Is it too expensive? It probably is. “
Liverpool are going to go big with big-money players on long-term contracts and that is not their strategy. “
So if you read a headline that says ‘Jamie Carragher says Liverpool should buy Palmer’ you might not be reading it honestly. “
But the predators will be circling around. And keep an eye on what’s happening at Stamford Bridge.”
