The Atletico Madrid star has been linked with a loan move following the arrival of Conor Gallagher

More changes are expected at Atletico Madrid in the coming weeks with the midfielder Arthur Vermeer potentially moving forward.

Los Rojiblancos have confirmed a transfer deal to bring England international Conor Gallagher from Chelsea after weeks of discussions.

This deal is expected to cost Atletico Madrid in the region of 42 million euros with Julian Alvarez arriving from Manchester City in a package that is more than double that figure.

The large transfer fee from Atletico Madrid is an indication of his challenge plan for the The League title in 2024/25, but downloads must be made.

Gallagher enters an already crowded midfield in the Spanish capital and the club are now looking at loan offers for Belgium international Vermeeren.

Despite seeing the 19-year-old as a long-term option, a season on the bench would hamper his development, with a loan switch to another Spanish side the ideal scenario for both parties.
