Conor Gallagher and Atlético Madrid have reportedly reached an agreement, and the player will travel to Spain on Monday to complete the necessary paperwork. This information includes a purported “exclusive” report from Fabrizio Romano.
Atletico allegedly gave themselves till this weekend to settle the dispute: Gallagher obviously required some persuasion to decide to move to Madrid, even if Chelsea had previously accepted their €40 million (£33 million) bids. He’ll be in the capital of Spain for five years.
By offering a two-year contract (with an option) and threatening to demote him to the reserves if he didn’t accept an extension, Chelsea had made a modest attempt to hang onto our Academy midfielder. Undoubtedly not ideal circumstances.

Chelsea recently turned down Atletico Madrid’s €20 million offer for the midfield player, but the Spanish team has since substantially raised their offer to reach the €40 million that Chelsea is requesting. Gallagher might turn down a move to Spain, judging by the fact that Atletico Madrid has made a special effort to align another midfield player.
Atletico has identified Javi Guerra as a backup option for Gallagher, and it’s obvious that club executives aren’t ready to lose any more time in case the Chelsea midfielder rejects them. A deal has been reached between Atletico and Valencia for the 21-year-old emerging sensation, according to Hector Gomez’s report.
