Atletico Madrid give transfer timeline to Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher ahead of potential move: Reports

According to Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol, Atletico Madrid have given Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher until the end of the weekend to decide a potential transfer. Gallagher’s Chelsea contract is set to run out this year.

The Blues don’t want a repeat of the Antonio Rudiger or Andreas Christensen situation. They don’t want Gallagher to leave on free and want a transfer fee for the player’s departure. Hence, the Blues don’t want the England international’s contract to run out.

Gallagher was a key player for Chelsea last season and even captained the team when Reece James and Bel Chilwell were absent.
