In a shocking development in the transfer market, the English team’s leadership is in a tense situation when Atletico Madrid suddenly proposed to cancel the deal to buy Conor Gallagher. Expected to be one of the brightest stars, Gallagher has attracted the attention of many big clubs. However, Atletico Madrid’s decision has not only disappointed the English team but also caused a stir in the transfer market with speculation and doubts about the future of this talented young midfielder. The subsequent reactions from both sides will determine whether Gallagher continues to be a target in upcoming transfer deals or not.
El Pais has just reported that Chelsea are experiencing extreme anger when Atletico Madrid suddenly showed signs of withdrawing from the deal to buy Conor Gallagher, even though the player has flown to Spain to undergo a medical. The incident has not only left Chelsea confused but has also raised questions about the last-minute move by Atletico’s board, who are believed to have intended to change their target at the last minute. Tensions between the two clubs have reached a boiling point, causing the entire transfer market to pay attention and question the next move in this deal.
Valencia’s sporting director, Miguel Angel Corona, also revealed this surprising truth on August 8. He said: “I just try to tell the truth objectively. There was an agreement last weekend, between Lay Hoon Chan (Valencia president) and the head of Atletico Madrid, Miguel Angel Gil Marin.”
Corona said Atletico no longer wanted to buy Gallagher, instead they switched their target to Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra. “Then on Wednesday morning next week, due to the delay in exchanging documents, we asked Atletico about the situation and they said they were trying to withdraw from the Gallagher deal.”
Atletico Madrid’s hesitation has left Chelsea furious, with Conor Gallagher almost completing his move to the Spanish club. The Madrid side’s sudden delay has left both sides in an awkward position, especially as Gallagher is in Madrid for a medical. The surprise move has not only raised questions about the seriousness of the deal, but has also created a mini-crisis in the relationship between the two clubs, making the transfer market more exciting than ever.
Gallagher will become an Atletico player this week.
Atletico are still preparing for a medical and finalising the deal with Gallagher. Sky Sports reports that Chelsea have agreed to sell Gallagher to Atletico Madrid for £38m.
With the 24-year-old expected to sign a five-year contract with Atletico Madrid, his future is looking clearer than ever. The persuasion of coach Diego Simeone, who took every opportunity to invite this young talent, has created an important turning point in Gallagher’s career. If the deal is completed, not only will Atletico Madrid have a bright star in the squad, but Gallagher will also enter a new and promising chapter in his journey in La Liga. This combination promises to create many surprises and drama in the upcoming season.
