In the next 24 hours, it should be known whether or not Conor Gallagher will become an Atletico Madrid player. A deal has already been agreed with Chelsea, and the finalising of personal terms is the only obstacle facing Los Colchoneros in their bid to sign their leading midfielder target.
On Saturday, Chelsea held new contract talks with Gallagher, as they aim to convince him to remain in west London. Atleti also spoke to the 24-year-old, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that those discussions were fruitful.
