Conor Gallagher has been linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer, and Atletico Madrid are keen on signing him.
According to Fichajes, La Liga giants Atletico Madrid have opened talks to sign versatile Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The Englishman is in the final year of his contract, and Chelsea will not want to lose him on a free transfer, slapping a €50 million price tag on him.
It would make sense for them to sell him for a reasonable price this summer. It will be interesting to see if Atletico Madrid are willing to pay around €50 million for him. The Spanish giants do not have a track record of overspending on players, and they will want to sign him for a reasonable price.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to play in La Liga for one of the biggest clubs in the country might be attractive for Gallagher. The England international will be tempted to join Diego Simeone’s side, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. The player has been linked with English clubs like Tottenham Hotspur as well. However, the North London club has not been able to secure an agreement with Chelsea.
Gallagher could tempted to join Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid will be able to provide him with Champions League football next season, and that will be an attractive prospect for the player. Regular football in Spain could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential. He was a key player for Chelsea last season and he captained them several times as well.
Apart from his qualities as a player, his leadership skills could prove to be vital for Atletico Madrid as well. The Spanish giants will be hoping to compete for major trophies next season, and they need more quality in the side. Signing the Chelsea midfielder for the right price could prove to be excellent business for the Spanish club.
Kieran Trippier has played for Atletico Madrid in the past, and there have been rumours that the Newcastle player has put in a good word for the club as they look to sign his compatriot.
