Chelsea hijack Inter Milan move to snatch Palestra from Atalanta
The Blues are said to have agreed a €55 million fee plus sell-on clause to acquire the services of the 21-year-old Italian despite having been heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan.
Palestra spent the 2025/26 on loan to Cagliari, where he impressed after making 37 appearances for the club, scoring one goal while providing four assists to help the team to a 14th place finish on the league table.
The youngster saw his efforts rewarded when he was called up to make his debut for Italy in their European World Cup Qualification Playoffs campaign after losing the final on penalties to Bosnia.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, new Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso spoke directly with Palestra to convince him to move to Stamford Bridge instead of Serie A side Inter.
