Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been linked with a move away from the club this summer and Atletico Madrid are keen on signing him.
The Spanish giants will compete with Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur for his signature.
According to Football Insider, Atletico Madrid are confident of beating the two Premier League clubs to his signature.
Gallagher is in the final year of his contract with Chelsea and the Blues are under pressure to cash in on him. They will not want to lose him on a free transfer next year.
The report states that Chelsea are ready to sell the player this summer for the right price. The two parties have not been able to progress when it comes to discussions over a new contract. It seems that Gallagher is keen on an exit.
Atletico Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in Europe and they will be able to provide him with Champions League football.
He has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League and he could prove to be a superb addition for Atletico Madrid as well. His style of play should be a good fit for Diego Simeone’s system. The Chelsea midfielder is a hardworking player who will help out defensively and he will add drive and creativity to the side as well.
The 24-year-old has all the tools to develop into a complete midfielder and playing under a world-class coach like Simeone could take him to a whole new level.
Meanwhile, Spurs and Aston Villa will need more depth in the middle of the park and it remains to be seen whether they decide to move onto the targets. Gallagher would have been a quality acquisition. He is well settled in the Premier League and he could have made an instant impact.
