Cole Palmer Secures New Contract with Chelsea, Matching Enzo Fernandez’s Salary

Chelsea have locked down another of their standout performers from last season with a new contract extension.

Cole Palmer has now officially committed more of his future to the Blues after an incredible season that saw him rise as one of the club’s key players. His performances earned him a contract extension that reflects his value to the team.

The young England international is expected to be a crucial figure under new manager Enzo Maresca, with the possibility of Palmer being deployed in a more central role next season, giving him the space to unleash his creative talents.

The new contract also signals just how much Chelsea values Palmer, as his salary now matches some of the club’s other top players.

Palmer’s Salary Now on Par with Enzo Fernandez

According to The Telegraph, Palmer’s new deal brings his wages in line with those of Enzo Fernandez, who joined Chelsea in a high-profile transfer 18 months ago. While Chelsea fans are still waiting to see Fernandez consistently deliver on his World Cup-winning potential, his talent is undeniable.

Fernandez, described as “gifted” by football pundit Andy Townsend, is poised for a standout season under Maresca’s leadership, and Chelsea are banking on him to make a major impact.

Enzo Fernandez to Serve as Vice-Captain

Fernandez is also set to take on a leadership role at Chelsea this season as one of the club’s vice-captains. He might even be wearing the captain’s armband for Chelsea’s season opener against Manchester City, given that Reece James will miss the game due to a suspension and an injury.

Meanwhile, Ben Chilwell, last season’s vice-captain, seems to be facing a challenging situation. Reports suggest that Chilwell is frustrated with his reduced role in Maresca’s plans for the new campaign, as it looks like Marc Cucurella will be starting at left-back when the season kicks off this weekend.
