Cole Palmer has officially completed his medical as he prepares to join Liverpool, according to Fabrizio Romano. The paperwork between Chelsea and Liverpool is being finalized, and once the player side completes the formalities, an official announcement will follow.
Liverpool are reportedly on the verge of pulling off a major coup by signing Chelsea’s star forward. Palmer, who has become a key figure at Stamford Bridge after his surprising 2023 transfer from Manchester City, is currently listed at 20/1 odds to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
With Chelsea battling for a Champions League spot, Liverpool and Arne Slot have been quietly working behind the scenes to secure the 22-year-old’s signature ahead of next season. Although Palmer is unlikely to match last year’s stunning tally of 27 goals and 15 assists, he has continued to shine and caught the eye of Slot, who sees him as a major addition—especially with Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, and Federico Chiesa all linked with potential summer exits.
Reports from *teamTALK* suggest Chelsea are seeking around £85 million for Palmer. The move could depend on the Blues’ ability to offload other players, including Trevoh Chalobah, João Félix, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who are all expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
