According to reports, Chelsea had been willing to sell the midfielder to gather funds for a striker. However, the player has become a crucial part of Mauricio Pochettino’s team, though the manager has admitted uncertainty about whether the English player will stay this month. Despite previous links with Tottenham, The Mirror now suggests the 23-year-old might remain with Chelsea.
The report mentions Chelsea’s valuation of Gallagher at £60 million ($76m). Leaving the club isn’t something he’s considering, especially as he’s taken on leadership responsibilities in Reece James’ absence. However, talks about a contract extension haven’t progressed significantly, and his current deal ends in 18 months. If he does depart, it could benefit Chelsea financially, considering he’s a homegrown player, thus contributing positively to their financial balance as they navigate the Financial Fair Play regulations.
Gallagher expressed his strong desire to continue representing Chelsea, a club he’s been a part of for 15 years. While on England duty in November, he mentioned his confidence in a contract resolution, highlighting his love for playing at Chelsea.
Amid the ongoing January transfer window, speculation about Gallagher’s future will persist. On the field, Chelsea is set to face Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, followed by a Premier League clash against Fulham.
