Atletico Madrid is negotiating with Chelsea to sign midfielder Conor Gallagher. The 24-year-old is currently on holiday after competing at Euro 2024 with England in Germany.
Gallagher has yet to agree on personal terms with the Spanish club and might need convincing about the move. However, Chelsea appears open to selling Gallagher, who has entered the final year of his contract.
There have been exploratory talks this summer to renew his contract, but it is unclear if the offered terms will be enough to keep him. Gallagher joined Chelsea at the age of six.
Last summer, Tottenham and West Ham showed interest in him, but there has been little movement toward a Premier League club this year.
New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca addressed Gallagher’s future before a match against Club America in Atlanta, USA. He said, “The transfer window is open, so unfortunately something can happen, not only with Conor but all the players.”
Chelsea has also shown interest in Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion. Currently focused on the Olympics with Spain, Omorodion would not welcome offers, and Chelsea has already had at least one bid turned down this summer.
