OFFICIAL: Conor Gallagher completes £34m move to Atletico Madrid
Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has finally completed his move to Atletico Madrid in a deal worth £34m and signed a five-year contract with Diego Simeone’s side.
His transfer looked in jeopardy after Samu Omorodion’s move to Stamford Bridge collapsed in the eleventh hour but after a week of talks, Gallagher has finally secured his move to the Spanish capital.
“To everyone at Chelsea, thank you for making my dreams come true,” Gallagher wrote on Instagram. “It’s been an absolute honour every time I put on the shirt, and it was a dream come true to captain the team on many occasions.
“I loved every moment. These memories will last forever. I appreciate all the love and support from the fans.”
The Chelsea academy graduate played in 136 Premier League games while bagging 18 goals and 13 assists in the process. Gallagher entered the final year of his contract with Chelsea and avoided losing him on a free transfer next summer.
