Atletico Madrid could complete a deal for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher next week.
Los Rojiblancos are pushing to complete a transfer for the English international to strengthen their midfield.
Speculation has increased in recent days, with a late contract offer from Chelsea rejected by Gallagher, reported by The Athleticwith the Blues keen not to lose for free next summer.
With Gallagher opting out of a renewal at Stamford Bridge, the situation has reached a critical point ahead of the new season.
The latest update from transfer expert Matteo Moretto states that the clubs have agreed a deal of 45 million euros, with the last call with Gallagher, and has 48 hours to decide.
A new report from Brand indicates that Chelsea have informed Gallagher that they will not count on him for 2024/25 before a return to training next week.
This will push Gallagher closer to Madrid, although he wants to stay, but Chelsea's two-year extension is not up to his demands.
