Chelsea have found a surprise replacement for their midfielder

The future of midfielder and one of Chelsea's captains last season Conor Gallagher is rather vague, and the "pensioners" are looking for his replacement. One of the options turned out to be quite unexpected.

As reported by Globo, such has been found in the person of ex-Manchester United midfielder, and now - Fulham player Andreas Pereira. It is reported that the deal for the 28-year-old player could cost Chelsea up to 40 million euros.

At the same time, the sale of Gallagher on the expectations of the London club will bring Chelsea up to 60 million euros.

Recall that the pupil of Manchester United was sent on loan four times, being a player of the Red Devils, and in the summer of 2022 he moved to Fulham on a permanent basis for 9.5 million euros.
