According to previous Spain media reports, Atletico Madrid club shareholders have injected more than 70 million euros, which is to strengthen the team's squad in this summer window and compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the championship. In addition to Simeone's recommendation to sign Manchester City's Argentina striker Alvarez, Atletico also plans to sign Chelsea's permanent captain Conor Gallagher. Alvarez will need to wait until after the end of the men's Olympic football team to decide his future, and Pep Guardiola will prefer Haaland in the team's main number nine, which means that Alvarez can only stay at Manchester City as a substitute striker. And Chelsea have been looking to sell England midfielder Conor Gallagher in the summer window this summer to "tie the score".

According to the latest report from journalist Jacobs, Atletico's previous €20 million + floating offer for Gallagher has been rejected. Atletico are also looking to sign Conor Gallagher and are in deep talks with Chelsea over a transfer fee for the England midfielder. Atletico have not yet reached a personal agreement with Conor Gallagher, with a transfer fee framework of around €40 million with Chelsea.

In the opinion of Wisdom, because James is a glass physique, Gallagher is basically the captain of Chelsea last season, playing hard and passionately, which is very suitable for Simeone's tactical system and Atletico Madrid's tactical style of play. Atletico want Conor Gallagher, and this is the right signing.

Conor Gallagher, who came through the Chelsea Academy, has spent several time on loan before returning to the Chelsea first team in the 2022-23 season and performing well, but now Chelsea are even more business-oriented, with the hierarchy insisting on selling Gallagher.

The 24-year-old Gallagher, 1.82 meters tall, right-footed player, can play in the back and forward, only has one year left on his contract with Chelsea, and the player is worth 50 million euros, with an annual salary of 2.6 million pounds before tax, which is very cost-effective. Conor Gallagher made 50 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions last season, 46 of them starts, and played a total of 4,036 minutes, with a very good attendance rate, contributing seven goals and nine assists, which was also very good.
