Atletico Madrid I'm locked in a transfer swoop for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher.
Los Rojiblancos are focusing on new midfield options for the 2024/25 season and Gallagher is a key target.
Despite a rumor of disagreement about the available options, with Diego Simeone preferring Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino, a move for Gallagher it seems.
Atletico's desire to get a deal completed quickly is also a key factor in them lining up ahead of Merino on the road to Madrid.
The latest update says Chelsea are demanding around €40m, with Gallagher out of contract at Stamford Bridge in 2025, and Atletico currently only offer half that figure.
A new report from Teamtalk.com claims that Atletico Madrid are confident of reaching a deal, with Chelsea moving in a different direction, and Gallagher was encouraged to make the move by England teammate Kieran Trippier.
Atletico are ready to offer a compromise package in the region of €30 million in the coming days.
