Giants wants answer from midfielder after £33 million Chelsea deal agreed!
Atletico Madrid are not hanging around for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher to make a decision over his future at the club
Gallagher was one of the players that Mauricio Pochettino relied on the most over the course of his stay at Stamford Bridge – and the midfielder rarely let the side down with his hard-working performances.
He has captained the team several times with Reece James being sidelined for large parts of the season – But there has been alot of transfer speculation in the media that he is one player that CHELSEA are very much open to letting leave the club this transfer window – with the likes of Tottenham and West Ham reportedly interested in a deal.
But now it seems that he is heading to La Liga as Spanish outlet AS have stated Atletico will pay just over £33million for the English midfielder, whose contract was set to expire next summer
But Gallagher has not made a decision about leaving Chelsea and now Madrid are not willing to wait around for the star: “As things stand, Atletico Madrid have already made an offer to Conor Gallagher, and they have already reached an agreement with Chelsea. They are just waiting on a response from Gallagher and his agents. The Chelsea midfielder is thinking over things carefully,” Matteo Moretto told Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing.
“He knows there is a lot of pressure from CHELSEA to do the deal, because they do not want him to go to a competitor, and that the only side that have made an offer that has satisfied Chelsea’s demands is Atletico – so there is a lot of pressure to get the deal done.
“But as I say, this could change rapidly, we still don’t have the green light from the player. We are still waiting, but I don’t think Atletico will hang around long for an answer either.
“With Gallagher, he knows that his time at Chelsea is most likely up. The matter is not so much whether he wants to go to Atletico or not, but he is weighing up the fact that in six months time, he could sign a deal with anybody, and potentially earn a good bit more money. The prospect of being a free agent is the main obstacle right now for Atletico.”
