Chelsea star will become only the second England international ever to play for Atletico after Kieran Trippier.
Atletico Madrid is ready to announce the signing of Chelsea midfielder. As per reports, Conor Gallagher will confirm his official move to the Spanish club in the next 24 hours. He was one of the finest players last season.
Gallagher is sure that he will not get regular time under the new manager. He has entered into his final 12 months of the contract. The West London club agreed new terms with the club.
Atletico Madrid have agreed on personal terms with the 24-year-old midfielder. Deal was on hold due to Chelsea’s planning to sign Atletico forward Samu Omorodion. Now, deal is done and Gallagher will be announced as the new Atletico Madrid player soon.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on Tuesday that the Blues attacker will be presented as Atletico Madrid’s newest addition on Wednesday at the Metropolitano Stadium.
He has confirmed the deal through X, “He’s already signed his contract valid until 2029, also done all medical tests so just formally being announced in next 24h.”
Both clubs settled on a fee in the region of £35.8m and have included an undisclosed sell-on fee in the terms of the agreement. He will become only the second England international ever to play for Atletico after Kieran Trippier. The latter was part of club’s famous La Liga win in 2021/22.
