Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been linked with an exit from the club.

Gallagher was a key player for Chelsea last season under Mauricio Pochettino, but reports have claimed Chelsea are willing to sell to balance the books.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Atletico Madrid have genuine interest in Conor Gallagher.

He wrote on X: “Understand Atlético Madrid remain the most interested club in Conor Gallagher this summer.

“Atléti have made contact with Chelsea for Gallagher as he’s one of the names in the shortlist. Not an easy deal as still expensive — but Atlético interest is genuine.”

Reports also claim Chelsea have rejected a bid of €20m from Atletico Madrid for Conor Gallagher.
