Atletico Madrid could complete a deal for Chelsea star Conor Gallagher next week.
Los Rojiblancos are pushing to wrap up a transfer for the England international to bolster their midfield.
Speculation has increased in recent days, with a late contract offer from Chelsea rejected by Gallagher, reported by The Athletic, with the Blues eager not to lose him for free next summer.
With Gallagher opting against a renewal at Stamford Bridge, the situation has reached a crunch point, ahead of the new season.
The latest update from transfer expert Matteo Moretto claims the clubs have agreed a €45m deal, with the final call lying with Gallagher, and he has 48 hours to decide.
A fresh report from Marca indicates Chelsea have informed Gallagher they ae not counting on him for 2024/25 ahead of a training return next week.
That will push Gallagher closer to Madrid, despite him wanting to stay, but Chelsea’s two year extension falls short of his demands

Conor Gallagher is playing the hard nut with Chelsea, imagine rejecting two contract extension of 3 years with increased salary with an option of another year within one week speaks volumes about how ingrate some players are. Looking for 6 - 8 years like newly signed players, Chelsea made you, Chelsea mould you, Chelsea clothes you from age 8 as a kid, another Mason Mount in the making.
