Stam believes Palmer will join Man United
Stam expressed belief that Palmer would play for Manchester United but didn't pursue him.
Stam acknowledged Palmer's rising value, suggesting that his current trajectory could make him unaffordable for most clubs in the future.
“Seeing the potential of Cole Palmer and him being just next door, you do wonder how Manchester United missed out on him, or maybe they did try and couldn’t get a deal over the line,” Stam told Metro.

The Chelsea star and his girlfriend are all loved up this winter.
“It would still be great to see him at Manchester United and being a fan of the club he’d probably like that to happen as well.
“However, in his current form there might not be any clubs who can afford him. He might one day be worth £200m the way he is going.”
Palmer is Manchester City academy graduate. He made his senior debut for the club in 2020 and was part of the squad that won the continental treble of the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League in 2023.
He signed with Chelsea in 2023 for £40 million and had a breakout debut season, earning several awards, including the PFA Fans' Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.
