According to the report, the England international has a secret release clause that could complicate things for Chelsea and perhaps add more financial woes as the club tries to settle its records. The 21-year-old, who has made a notable impact since his £40 million transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea on deadline day, has garnered attention with his impressive performances. Palmer, known for his penalty prowess with all four of his Chelsea goals coming from the spot, recently showcased his skill in a thrilling 4-4 draw against former club Manchester City. Initially expected to feature for the Under-21s, Palmer’s promotion to the senior squad comes amid injuries to several key players, including Callum Wilson and James Maddison. The specifics of the clause indicate that Chelsea would be obligated to pay a small fee as part of the agreement.
