Atletico Madrid Eyes Conor Gallagher as Chelsea Open to Transfer

Atletico Madrid are currently engaged in discussions with Chelsea regarding the potential transfer of midfielder Conor Gallagher. The 24-year-old player is currently on holiday following his participation in Euro 2024 with the England national team in Germany.

As of now, Gallagher has not reached an agreement on personal terms with the Spanish club, and there are indications that he may need persuasion to make the move. However, Chelsea appears open to selling Gallagher, who is entering the final year of his contract.

This summer, there have been preliminary discussions about renewing Gallagher's contract, but it remains uncertain whether the terms offered will be sufficient to retain him. Gallagher has been with Chelsea since he was six years old.

In the previous summer transfer window, both Tottenham and West Ham expressed interest in Gallagher, but there has been limited speculation regarding a possible transfer to a Premier League club this year.

New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca was queried about Gallagher's future ahead of a match against Club America in Atlanta, United States. He remarked, "The transfer window is open so unfortunately something can happen, not only with Conor, but all the players."

Additionally, Chelsea has shown interest in Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion, who is currently focused on the Olympics with Spain and is not inclined to entertain transfer offers at this time. Chelsea is known to have had at least one bid for Omorodion rejected this summer.
