Chelsea have only been so-so in the last stretch of the season that wishing for the next season has already started among some supporters.
While a serious amount of money was spent by Todd Boehly on squad strengthening in the last few transfer windows, the moment of truth for the Blues may come on Thursday night, when the team takes on Man United in the Premier League match.
As the Premier League deal with the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), there are speculations that there will be a lot of sales while the window is still on.
The Telegraph claims that Chelsea will extend the contract of Cole Palmer, whose successes this season exceeded expectations.
Palmer, who have come in from Manchester City just a few months ago, has shown promise for the manager Mauricio Pochettino’s side in a campaign that has been unfavourable to the side.
The recent brace he scored towards the end of the 2-2 draw against Burnley was already his 12th and 13th Premier League goals this season.

What is the latest regarding the transfer talks at Chelsea?
However, no negotiations have been done so far, and the club’s managers have already recognized Palmer’s right to revised terms.
The reported £80,000 a-week, which is expected to rise higher as the club wants to sign him in the long term.
Initially, Palmer was contracted for a period of seven years from the time the deal was agreed upon at Stamford Bridge during the summer season.
The forthcoming encounter with Manchester United could strengthen the performance of Chelsea and the team will have time for summer transfer window building.
Meanwhile, as some fans may be looking forward to the new season, Chelsea itself is still eager to see this season finish on a high note without any negative incidents.
Palmer’s potential contract extension represents not only the club`s dedication to sporting foresight but also the youth policy implementation strategy.
When the negotiations move further, Chelsea will obviously want to conclude the deal with Palmer quickly and continue to get victorious in EPL games and even other endeavours.
