Atletico Madrid in Negotiations with Chelsea for Conor Gallagher Transfer
Atletico Madrid is currently in discussions with Chelsea regarding the potential signing of midfielder Conor Gallagher. The 24-year-old is enjoying a holiday after participating in Euro 2024 with England in Germany.
Although Gallagher has yet to agree on personal terms with the Spanish club, Chelsea appears open to selling him as he has entered the final year of his contract. Despite exploratory talks over the summer to extend his stay, it remains uncertain whether the terms offered will be sufficient to retain Gallagher, who has been with Chelsea since he was six years old.
Last summer, Tottenham and West Ham showed interest in Gallagher, but there has been little activity regarding a potential move to another Premier League club this year.
New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca addressed Gallagher’s future during a press conference before a match against Club America in Atlanta, USA. He stated, “The transfer window is open, so unfortunately something can happen, not only with Conor but all the players.”
In addition to the potential transfer of Gallagher, Chelsea has shown interest in Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion. However, Omorodion, currently focused on the Olympics with Spain, is not entertaining offers at this time. Chelsea is known to have had at least one bid for Omorodion turned down this summer.
As the transfer window remains open, the situation continues to evolve, with both clubs navigating potential player movements and negotiations.
