Former England midfielder Carlton Palmer believes that if Hull City fails to secure promotion to the Premier League, they would consider a bid between £15m to £20m for star defender Jacob Greaves this summer. Speculation has been circulating about Greaves’ future, along with his City teammate Jaden Philogene, as both have been standout performers under Liam Rosenior this season. Despite Greaves’ impressive performance in 36 out of 37 games this season, his absence due to suspension during the Easter weekend matches against Stoke City and Leeds United is a setback for him and Rosenior.
Palmer emphasizes that Hull City would only entertain a substantial offer for Greaves, especially if they remain in the Championship. Greaves is contracted until 2026, indicating that a significant bid would be necessary for Hull to consider letting him go. Palmer acknowledges the dilemma Hull faces, as Greaves may seek to play at a higher level if the club doesn’t secure promotion, potentially attracting interest from Premier League clubs like Everton. Palmer estimates that a bid between £15m to £20m would be required for Hull to engage in negotiations, highlighting Greaves’ potential to excel at the highest level due to his athleticism and technical ability.
