The Chelsea midfielder has decided on his future

For a long time, there have been various transfer rumors surrounding Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher. The player himself was indecisive about where to continue his career.

According to Fabrizio Romano, this saga has finally come to an end. The footballer has given his verbal agreement to join Atlético Madrid. Chelsea will receive €40 million, and Conor Gallagher will sign a five-year contract.

Romano also mentioned that two Premier League clubs attempted to join the race, but Gallagher was considering only two options: signing a new two-year deal with Chelsea or joining Atlético.

To emphasize the seriousness of their intentions to sell Gallagher, the club has removed him from first-team training. According to the latest information from Marca, Chelsea has explicitly informed Gallagher that they do not plan to include him in their plans for the next season. Following this, they have given him 48 hours to make a decision, as reported by Matteo Moretto.

It is believed that Chelsea has already reached an agreement with Atlético Madrid regarding the transfer and is now awaiting the player's decision. The reported transfer fee is €45 million, while the player's contract is estimated at €5 million more, according to the statistical portal Transfermarkt.

Conor Gallagher is a product of Chelsea's youth academy and has been with the club since he was seven years old. He has always held a professional contract with the Blues but has been loaned out to other clubs, exclusively in England.
