Chelsea are exploring contingency plans for the upcoming transfer window and could make a sensational move for Jude Bellingham if Cole Palmer leaves the club. The information comes amid growing interest from Manchester United in Palmer, one of Chelsea’s standout performers this season.
Chelsea Reassess Transfer Strategy After Managerial Changes
Following recent changes in management, Chelsea have begun reassessing their sporting and financial strategy for next season. According to Football Transfers, the club is open to the possibility of selling Cole Palmer — but only if a significant offer arrives.
Internally, the Blues are preparing for a potentially aggressive transfer window, especially if they lose one of their main attacking references. In that scenario, the club is expected to pursue a marquee signing capable of leading the project on and off the pitch.
Jude Bellingham Emerges as Dream Target
Within this context, Jude Bellingham has emerged as a high-profile name being discussed behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge. The Real Madrid midfielder is viewed as a player who could immediately become the centerpiece of Chelsea’s rebuild, given his leadership, versatility, and elite-level performances.
A move for Bellingham would likely represent one of the biggest transfers in European football, both in sporting and financial terms. However, sources emphasize that Chelsea are currently only monitoring the situation, with no formal talks underway.
Real Madrid Stand Firm on Bellingham’s Future
Despite the speculation, Jude Bellingham has shown no desire to leave Real Madrid. The England international is fully settled in Spain and is considered a cornerstone of Real Madrid’s long-term project.
Moreover, the Spanish giants have no intention of facilitating his departure. Reports indicate that Real Madrid would only consider opening negotiations for an offer close to €150 million, a figure that reflects both the player’s importance and market value.
