This time, it’s official: Conor Gallagher is an Atlético de Madrid player. The English midfielder is leaving Chelsea, his training club, and is joining the Mattresses for 42 million euros. This is the fourth signing of the Reds and Whites after Alexander Sørloth, Robin Le Normand and Julián Álvarez.
The arrival of the 24-year-old English midfielder at the Mattresses was called into question after the failure of Samu Omorodion’s transfer to Chelsea. Finally, theAtleti and the Blues have found common ground: while Gallagher has taken over the management of the Wanda Metropolitano, the Stamford Bridge residents will recover João Félix. The Portuguese will commit to the English club until 2030. The amount of this transfer is estimated at 70 million euros.
