As reported by The Daily Mail, negotiations to extend the midfielder’s contract at Chelsea have hit a standstill, with “no significant progress” noted. Tottenham and other Premier League clubs are closely monitoring the situation with intentions of potentially making a summer transfer bid for the English international. Despite this, Conor Gallagher prioritizes remaining at Stamford Bridge and has no intentions of leaving.
Sources suggest that Chelsea is hesitant to exceed their unofficial weekly wage cap of £150,000 for Gallagher, who is set to enter the final year of his contract. While Chelsea downplays the significance of this issue, there’s speculation that the club faces pressure to offload players this summer to adhere to profit and sustainability guidelines (PSR). Since Gallagher emerged from Chelsea’s academy, his potential sale would contribute directly to profit on the PSR balance sheet. Although Gallagher’s contract has just one year remaining, Chelsea would demand a minimum of £50 million for his transfer. However, the willingness of other teams to meet this valuation remains uncertain, considering Gallagher could be available for free next season.
The prospect of Gallagher’s departure this summer is puzzling, particularly as he is a leading contender for Chelsea’s player of the year accolade. The 24-year-old, who joined Chelsea’s academy at the age of eight, has been in stellar form, netting four goals in his last five appearances for the west London side. Furthermore, Gallagher assumed the captain’s responsibilities in Reece James’ absence this season.
Gallagher is expected to feature prominently under Mauricio Pochettino’s leadership when Chelsea faces Brentford on Saturday, March 2, in a bid to climb back into the Premier League’s top half.
