Atletico Madrid in Chelsea talks over Gallagher

Atletico Madrid are negotiating with Chelsea to sign midfielder Conor Gallagher.

The 24-year-old is currently on holiday after competing in Euro 2024 with England in Germany.

Gallagher has yet to agree to personal terms with the Spanish club and may need some convincing to make the move.

Chelsea are reportedly open to selling Gallagher, who is in the final year of his contract.

Although there have been preliminary discussions this summer about renewing his contract, it is uncertain if the terms offered will be enough to retain Gallagher, who joined Chelsea at the age of six.

Tottenham and West Ham both showed interest in Gallagher last summer, but there has been little talk of a potential move to another Premier League club this year.

New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was asked about Gallagher’s future before a match against Club America in Atlanta, United States.

He said: “The transfer window is open, so unfortunately, something can happen, not only with Conor but with all the players.”

Chelsea have also shown interest in Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion, who is currently focused on the Olympics with Spain and would not welcome offers.

Chelsea are known to have had at least one bid rejected this summer.
