Chelsea have been wanting to sell their Academy and England midfielder Conor Gallagher, and they have done so. According to the latest report from Italy transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Conor Gallagher has agreed to join Atletico Madrid, and the two sides will sign a five-year contract for a transfer fee of 40 million euros, which will become the target of La Liga this summer window.

Chelsea have done enough, according to talkSPORT, the Mail and other British media have broken the news, Chelsea have informed Gallagher that he will be excluded from the first team when he reports to the team on Monday, and he is not in the plan of new coach Maresca.

Zhidao's point of view, in fact, Chelsea's change of coach is nothing more than finding an obedient young coach, and not wanting Gallagher is what Chelsea's top management means, which is also an important reason for Pochettino's resignation. Conor Gallagher is one of England's few desperate players, and it really matches Simeone's Atletico style, which would be a good signing.

Gallagher came out of the Chelsea academy, the player has been loaned to Charlton, Swansea, West Bromwich Albion, Crystal Palace, finally returned to Chelsea to play the game, and became the team's second captain, due to James's long-term injury, Gallagher was the team's permanent captain last season, but the Chelsea hierarchy insisted on selling Gallagher to "do the account".

The 24-year-old Gallagher, a 1.82-metre-tall, right-footed player who can play at the back and up front as well as a midfielder, has only one year left on his contract with Chelsea, and is valued at €50 million, with an annual salary of £2.6 million before tax. Conor Gallagher made 50 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions last season, starting 46 of them, contributing seven goals and nine assists. At Euro 2024, he made 5 appearances with England, including 1 start, and played a total of 117 minutes.
