After being on the brink of joining Man Utd, Cole Palmer will remain at Chelsea - at least for now. Talks over a potential transfer have reportedly collapsed, with negotiations hitting a wall late in the process. The midfielder had been seen as a priority signing for the interested team but it looks like they will have to look elsewhere or return with an improved offer. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Cole Palmer will not join Man Utd - but interest from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City could yet reignite. So far this season, Man Utd are steady at both ends (1.8 goals scored per game, 1.37 goals conceded per game). The role for Cole Palmer would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Chelsea continue to be linked with Jan Paul van Hecke, Maximiliano Araujo and Gregor Kobel while Man Utd are also rumoured to be tracking Afonso Bastardo Moreira, Maximiliano Araujo and Exequiel Palacios.
