Conor Gallagher is set to join Atletico Madrid after rejecting a new three-year contract with Chelsea. The Spanish club has agreed on a £33 million deal with Chelsea, who now support Gallagher’s move. Despite being offered attractive terms in June, Gallagher, who joined Chelsea’s academy at age eight, declined the deal.
The midfielder, who captained Chelsea in Reece James’ absence, has long been considered for sale to balance the club’s finances. Chelsea had accepted a record bid from Aston Villa in June, but Gallagher preferred a move to Spain. Tottenham showed interest, but Gallagher wants Champions League football, and Chelsea prefers selling him overseas.
Atletico Madrid may need to sell players to fund the deal, with Chelsea interested in striker Samu Omorodion. Personal terms with Madrid are yet to be agreed, but Gallagher is keen on the move. With one year left on his Chelsea contract, the club aims to avoid losing him for free next summer.
