Announced on the departure of Chelsea while Enzo Maresca does not include him in his plans, Conor Gallagher was to join Atlético de Madrid. Eager to recruit the Englishman for their midfield, the Colchoneros had reached an agreement to recruit the 24-year-old player. Problem, the transfer sending Samu Omorodion in the opposite direction fell through a few days ago.
As a result, Gallagher waited six days in Madrid to finalize his arrival at the Matelassiers. While no solution has been found in this still current case, Atlético and Chelsea have advised the former Crystal Palace player to return to London. A recommendation made in order to preserve the player’s mental and physical health if the deal sending him to the Iberian capital ends up falling through definitively.
