Chelsea in talks over deal for £40M star – will be great move for midfielder to make
It has again been claimed that Atletico Madrid have held talks with Chelsea about a possible deal for Conor Gallagher.
According to talkSPORT, the Spanish side have had discussions with Chelsea about signing the England international, who is out of contract next summer. The report adds the 24-year-old has not been offered a new deal and Tottenham, Aston Villa and more are still interested in the ex-Crystal Palace loanee.
Reports have claimed Atletico knows Gallagher will do everything he can to facilitate a transfer as he reportedly wants the move. However, they will have to up their opening offer, as Chelsea reputedly rejected a bid below £17 million for the player.
Now reporter Iomie Stanley says that this could be a fantastic move for Gallagher if he is no longer wanted at Stamford Bridge and is not part of the plans under Enzo Maresca – he told icfootballnews: ‘I thought Conor Gallagher had a really good season ‘I thought he played some really good stuff.
‘I would love to think that Maresca could say to the hierarchy, “please don’t sell him, i want him to stay and be part of the side – his performances last season fully deserves a chance at least
‘Gallagher was very solid for CHELSEA last season and to be honest – the club would be massive fools to let him depart Stamford Bridge over the next few months.
‘So event though there has been alot of rumours about the future of Gallagher – if he does make the move to Madrid – it will be a quality switch to make as they are a top side that would offer him a different culture of football.
‘If Chelsea dont want him – make the move to La Liga – it could be a great decision to make.’
