Conor Gallagher is set to sign with Atletico Madrid. The Chelsea midfielder was the Colchoneros’ priority to strengthen their midfield. According to the BBCthe Englishman would have given his “definitive yes” to the Madrid club, this Sunday evening. An agreement had already been reached between the two clubs for a transfer of around 38 million euros.
The Blues had put enormous pressure on the Three Lions midfielder to leave the club. The 24-year-old had even been excluded from the squad by the new coach, Enzo Maresca. A heartbreak for Gallagher who did not want to leave his country and his training club. The insistence of the Colchoneros will have ended up convincing the Englishman who should finally play under the orders of Diego Simeone, next season.
