Chelsea ask Conor Gallagher to accept Atletico Madrid move – report

Atletico Madrid could complete a deal for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher next week.

Los Rojiblancos are pushing to wrap up a transfer for the England international to bolster their midfield.

Speculation has increased in recent days, with a late contract offer from Chelsea rejected by Gallagher, reported by The Athletic, with the Blues eager not to lose him for free next summer.

With Gallagher opting against a renewal at Stamford Bridge, the situation has reached a crunch point, ahead of the new season.

The latest update from transfer expert Matteo Moretto claims the clubs have agreed a €45m deal, with the final call lying with Gallagher, and he has 48 hours to decide.

A fresh report from Marca indicates Chelsea have informed Gallagher they ae not counting on him for 2024/25 ahead of a training return next week.

That will push Gallagher closer to Madrid, despite him wanting to stay, but Chelsea’s two year extension falls short of his demands
