Conor Gallagher has been linked with a move away from Atletico Madrid in recent weeks, with Premier League clubs keen on signing him.
Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher has struggled for regular game time at the La Liga club, and he has been linked with a return to the Premier League.
According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United and Tottenham are front-runners to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they can sign the English international. They will face competition from Everton and Newcastle United as well.
The player is reportedly valued at €30 million, and there is no doubt that he could be an excellent acquisition for all four clubs. They need more quality and depth in the middle of the park. Gallagher has shown his quality in the Premier League with Crystal Palace and Chelsea. He could make an immediate impact in English football if he decides to return.
Manchester United and Tottenham could use Gallagher
Manchester United have struggled to control games in the middle of the park, and they need more quality. The Atletico Madrid midfielder could be the ideal acquisition. He will add physicality, drive and defensive cover to the side. Similarly, Tottenham need a reliable presence in the middle of the park.
The North London outfit have been long-term admirers of the former Chelsea midfielder, and they have tried to sign him in the past. It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can get the deal done. The English international will want to compete at the highest level, and the opportunity to join these two clubs will be exciting for him.
Everton and Newcastle United have exciting projects as well, but the 25-year-old midfielder might view them as a bit of a step down. He will want to join a club where he will be able to fight for major trophies.
The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality and potential. He could easily justify the €30 million investment. Manchester United and Tottenham have the finances to get the deal across the line as well, and it will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can convince him to join the club.
