Dwight Yorke, a Manchester United legend, believes Cole Palmer could end up at Liverpool, but only if Mohamed Salah leaves Anfield. Yorke does not think Palmer would demand a transfer from Chelsea, even if they miss out on a top-four finish, due to his current status as a key player at the club.
Palmer has experienced a downturn in form, failing to score in seven consecutive games. Despite this, he remains a crucial figure at Chelsea, having contributed significantly to the team since joining from Manchester City.
While some speculate that Palmer might leave if Chelsea fails to qualify for the Champions League, Yorke doubts this. He suggests that Palmer’s position as a top player at Chelsea would keep him at the club unless a compelling opportunity arises elsewhere.
Yorke emphasizes that a move to Liverpool would be contingent on Salah’s departure. He notes that Liverpool might be the only club capable of tempting Palmer away from Chelsea, given his current status as a leading player.
Yorke points out that Palmer is unlikely to leave Chelsea unless he can maintain or enhance his status as a top player. Liverpool could offer such an opportunity if Salah were to leave, but Palmer’s loyalty to Chelsea and his role there make a transfer unlikely without significant changes.
