Chelsea dreaming of an impossible move for Real Madrid talisman if Cole Palmer leaves

Speculation around Jude Bellingham’s future refuses to slow down, even though Real Madrid understandably have no intention of even listening to any offers for him.

According to a recent report from Fichajes, Chelsea are preparing a move that would shake the European transfer market, with the Club World Cup champions exploring the possibility of signing the England international.

From Real Madrid’s point of view, however, the situation is straightforward.

Bellingham is viewed as a cornerstone of the club’s present and future, not just for his performances on the pitch but also for his growing influence off it.

The midfielder is one of the faces of Madrid’s new era, and the contract he signed until 2029 was designed to send a strong message across Europe.

There is no intention to sell, no pressure to negotiate, and no appetite to listen to offers.

Change of order in the Premier League

Despite that, the English transfer market continues to fuel rumours and Chelsea’s name has emerged due to uncertainty elsewhere in the Premier League.

Several reports suggest Manchester City could make a move to bring Palmer back if a major change takes place on their bench.

Those same reports claim that Enzo Maresca’s potential arrival at the Etihad Stadium would be the trigger.

Palmer is believed to be a priority target for the Italian coach, having worked with him previously.

Should Manchester City act on that interest, Chelsea would be forced into the market to find a new attacking reference point.

This is where Bellingham’s name enters the conversation, even if only as a dream scenario.

Within Chelsea’s hierarchy, there is full awareness that such an operation would be monumental.

The financial demands alone would be staggering, and that is before considering Real Madrid’s unbreakable position.

The Spanish giants do not need to sell, nor do they want to. At this stage, even an extraordinary offer would not be enough to open the door.
