Chelsea set to reject Atletico Madrid’s £20m did for Conor Gallagher
Chelsea are set to reject a £20 million offer from Atlético Madrid for midfielder Conor Gallagher. According to AS, the Spanish club’s bid is much lower than Chelsea’s examination of the 24-year-old, who has become a key component of the team.
Although Diego Simeone’s admiration for Gallagher, who he believes is a perfect fit for Atletico’s style of play, the London club is standing firm. Chelsea announced a minimum price of €50 million for the England international, pointing out his potential and importance to the team.
Gallagher, a Chelsea academy graduate, has enjoyed a strong season, catching the eye with his relentless energy and tactical intelligence.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from several top European clubs. However, he remains focused on his current role and is in no rush to leave Stamford Bridge, where he has just one year left on his contract.
The situation presents a conundrum for Chelsea’s management. On one hand, they face the risk of losing Gallagher on a free transfer next summer if they cannot secure a contract extension.
On the other, they recognize his value and are unwilling to let him go for a fee that doesn’t reflect his worth.
For now, Gallagher’s future seems set to remain uncertain until after his commitments with the England national team at the Euros are concluded.
As transfer negotiations continue, Chelsea’s stance highlights their determination to retain key talent and extract maximum value from any potential deals.
The speculation continues, but one thing is clear: Conor Gallagher’s journey with Chelsea is far from over, and the summer transfer window promises more twists and turns.
