Chelsea Star player Conor Gallagher will become the most hated player after he is set to complete the signing with premier League Rivals.
Atletico Madrid is the most recent team to express interest in Conor Gallagher, therefore Chelsea is expected to receive a fresh proposal for the player.
The 24-year-old’s club future is still out in the air while he is serving with England on international duty.
Gallagher had by far his greatest season with his childhood team last year, becoming an important part of a team that significantly improved near the conclusion of a trial campaign.
Even though Mauricio Pochettino had already spent over £200 million on players like Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandes, Gallagher solidified his position as an important member of the engine room.
The decision to split ways with Pochettino earlier this month demoralized Gallagher, and it’s still unknown how he’ll fit in under the Argentine coach Ezno Maresca.
Gallagher is still a target for Tottenham and Aston Villa, but Atletico Madrid will provide competition for the Premier League teams.
As per The Sun, the Spanish club’s bold loan offer for a player who Chelsea believes can fetch a fee of around £50 million is likely to fall through.
Maresca, who is rumored to have already selected one of his now-former Leicester teammates as a possible replacement, is fully aware of the interest in Gallagher.
However, the recently promoted Foxes would demand at least £40 million for Liverpool’s favorite, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is still planning to bring in at least one new striker this summer.
Jhon Duran, a player for Villa, is ready to come to Stamford Bridge, and negotiations over a transfer are still underway.
Despite Gallagher’s markdown, Villa is still willing to drive a hard bargain and would want at least one player in return in order to reach an agreement.
It is said that Chelsea has other possibilities and has identified Samu Omorodion of Atletico Madrid as a potential target.
