Manchester City have launched a sensational £147 million bid to re-sign Cole Palmer from Chelsea — a bold move that would shatter the British transfer record and mark a striking U-turn from Pep Guardiola.
Palmer was allowed to leave the Etihad in 2023 for £40 million, with Guardiola unable to promise him regular minutes in a stacked squad. But since arriving at Chelsea, the 22-year-old has flourished into one of world football’s most exciting young stars — and now City want him back.
